Mounts
A telescope or binocular mount is the basic foundation upon which your optics rest. A solid mount is required in order to achieve crisp images at high magnification. While most entry and intermediate level telescopes are sold as complete systems that include a mount, a la carte purchasing of telescope mounts and optics tends to be the norm where premium level optics are concerned. This is especially true in the field of more advance astrophotography.
