  Alt-Azimuth Mounts

  Discover our range of alt-azimuth mounts for astronomy, suitable for telescopes, spotting scopes and large binoculars. Easy to set up and operate, they allow you to move your instrument horizontally and vertically without requiring polar alignment.

  From manual mounts to motorised GoTo models, including iOptron HAE hybrid mounts and professional 10Micron AZ systems, Astromanie.ch offers solutions for astronomical and terrestrial observation, as well as celestial imaging applications.

• 

  Equatorial Mounts

  Discover our range of equatorial mounts for astronomy and astrophotography. Designed to compensate for Earth's rotation, they provide accurate celestial tracking and make long-exposure imaging possible.

  From accessible Sky-Watcher mounts to compact ZWO and iOptron harmonic drive models, and all the way to high-end Avalon mounts and ultra-high-precision 10Micron systems, Astromanie.ch offers solutions for both visual observation and astronomical imaging.

• 

  Tripods and Piers

  Discover our range of tripods and piers for astronomical mounts, carefully selected to provide a rock-solid foundation for your equipment. From ultra-lightweight carbon fibre travel tripods (ZWO, Ibis) to heavy-duty LiteRoc stainless steel tripods, Berlebach ash wood supports and Baader observatory piers, minimise unwanted vibrations and securely support your mounts and optical instruments during long imaging sessions and visual observations.

• 

  Motor Drives and GoTo...

  Discover our range of motor drives, GoTo upgrade kits and hand controllers, designed to upgrade your astronomical mount or improve its tracking accuracy. Whether you want to convert a manual mount to automatic GoTo operation (EQ3-2 GoTo Kit) or eliminate mechanical backlash with a high-performance belt drive system (Rowan Astronomy kits for HEQ5 and NEQ6 mounts), take your equipment to the next level with smoother operation and improved responsiveness for astrophotography.

• 

  Clamps and Dovetail Bars

  Discover our range of dovetail bars and mounting clamps, essential mechanical interfaces for securely attaching optical tubes, guide scopes and accessories to your mount. Whether you need Vixen (GP/narrow) or Losmandy (3"/CGE) compatibility, we offer universal male dovetail bars, dual-profile female clamps (Baader PAN-EQ, iOptron) and high-rigidity mounting clamps (10Micron, Celestron) for precise, flex-free connections.

• 

  Polar Scopes

  Discover our range of optical and electronic polar scopes, essential precision tools for accurately polar aligning your equatorial mount. By aligning the right ascension axis with Earth's rotational axis, you minimise star trailing and ensure smooth, accurate tracking during long exposures. From traditional illuminated polar reticles (Sky-Watcher, Celestron) to digital polar alignment cameras with computer-assisted software (iOptron iPolar, QHYCCD PoleMaster), make nighttime alignment easier and more precise.

• 

  Counterweights and Bars

  Discover our range of counterweights and counterweight bars, essential accessories for reducing the load on your mount's drive system and ensuring reliable tracking during long exposures. From standard bore diameters (20 mm, 28 mm and 32 mm) for popular mounts (Sky-Watcher, Celestron, iOptron) to counterweight extensions for harmonic drive mounts (ZWO AM, iOptron HAE) and stainless steel counterweights for observatory installations, find the right balancing solution for your visual or photographic equipment.

• Spare Parts and...

  Discover our range of mechanical spare parts and accessories for astronomical mounts, designed to fine-tune every connection and contact point in your equipment. From Celestron anti-vibration pads and equatorial wedges for single-arm fork telescopes to precision-machined Geoptik altitude adjustment bolts and axis conversion bushings, find the missing component you need to improve the reliability of your setup in the field or at your observatory.

• 

  Mounting Adapters and...

  Discover our range of adapter plates and heavy-duty mounting accessories, designed to securely mount multiple instruments in parallel or adapt large optical systems to your mount. From high-capacity Baader dual mounting plates to observatory mounting interfaces and multi-tube mounting systems (10Micron MaxiDual, PlaneWave SideWing lateral supports), ensure uncompromising rigidity for even the most demanding imaging setups.

• Mount and Telescope...

  Discover our range of protective covers for astronomical mounts and telescopes, designed to protect your equipment from dust, nighttime moisture and the elements. Whether travelling to a star party or keeping your equipment assembled at a semi-permanent observing site, protect your instruments with Geoptik's waterproof, thermal-insulating protective covers or custom-fit, heavy-duty Cordura covers from 10Micron.
