Accessoires de montures
A mount rarely arrives complete. Polar alignment needs a scope or a camera, balance needs the right counterweights and extension bars, meridian clearance often needs a pier extension, and the whole thing needs power that survives a cold night. David Astro carries mount accessories in Canada — polar scopes, counterweights, wedges, pier extensions, hand controller brackets, cable management and power distribution — stocked in Canada and shipped worldwide.
These are the parts that turn a working mount into a well-behaved one. Tell us your mount model and what is bothering you about your setup and we will point at the accessory that fixes it.

Afficher tous les détailsWhat Actually Improves a Mount in Use
Most mount complaints resolve to one of four things: alignment accuracy, balance, clearance or power stability. Each has a specific accessory answer.
- Polar scopes and alignment aids: Illuminated reticles and electronic polar alignment cameras that reduce alignment from a lengthy drift procedure to a few minutes.
- Counterweights and extension bars: Correct balance reduces motor load and improves guiding; an extension bar lets a short heavy tube be balanced with less total weight.
- Pier extensions: Raise the mount head so a long tube clears the tripod legs at the meridian, which is the fix for the most common and most annoying mechanical collision.
- Equatorial wedges: Convert an alt-azimuth fork mount to equatorial tracking, eliminating field rotation for imaging.
- Cable management: Clips, wraps and routing hardware that prevent the snag which ends an unattended session at 2 a.m.
- Power supplies and distribution: Regulated supplies sized for cold-weather draw, since voltage sag is a frequent cause of stalls and tracking faults.
Why Choose David Astro for Mount Accessories
Accessory choice here is entirely mount-specific, so identification matters more than selection.
- Model-specific fitment: Counterweight shaft diameters, pier extension bolt patterns and wedge mounting all vary by mount, and we confirm the match before shipping.
- Meridian clearance calculated: Give us your tube length and tripod height and we will work out whether you need an extension and how much.
- Cold-weather power sizing: We size supplies for the current your mount draws when the grease is stiff at minus 25, not for the specification at room temperature.
- Authorized dealer: Genuine accessories with full manufacturer warranty, in stock, with fast shipping across Canada and worldwide.
- Domestic shipping: Heavy items like counterweights ship from Canada without duties or brokerage fees.
Mount Accessories in Canada — Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a pier extension?
- If your telescope strikes a tripod leg when crossing the meridian, or you cannot reach targets near the pole, yes. Send us your tube length and mount model and we will calculate the required height.
- What counterweight do I need?
- Enough to balance your payload at a sensible position on the shaft — roughly two thirds out, not at the very end. Shaft diameter is mount-specific, so tell us the model rather than the weight alone.
- Is an electronic polar alignment camera worth it?
- For imaging, usually yes. It reaches better accuracy than a polar scope in a fraction of the time and works when Polaris is obscured, which matters from urban backyards.
- Why does my mount stall in the cold?
- Most often voltage sag under load rather than a mechanical fault. Cold thickens lubricant, current draw rises, and an undersized supply or a long thin cable drops voltage below the mount's tolerance.
