It is with great sadness that I announce that Discmounts will officially close on Dec. 31 2024. After 20+ years, hundreds of new friends and all the fun Discmounts has given me, it is time to say goodbye.

Why Discmounts?
The DiscMount was designed with Patented Variable Friction Control along with a large friction disc. This allows the mount to be adjusted to accommodate large changes in eyepiece (or camera) weights. All that is needed is to adjust the mount to accommodate for the telescope configuration, and forget it.
Advantages - DiscMounts
It is also very easy to mount the telescope so that it is orthogonal. 5- Direct mounting of encoders (when used) allows easier mounting and greater position precision. Since the center shafts terminate at the edge of the disc, the encoders can be mounted directly to the shaft end.
