The German Equatorial mounts Astro-Physics manufactures are: the Mach1GTO, 1100GTO, 1600GTO and 3600GTO. The Mach1GTO is compact, light-weight and portable.  The new 1100GTO German Equatorial Mount incorporates the design features of the 1600GTO in a smaller, more portable package.  The 1600GTO can be used for basic configuration or with the optional Absolute Encoder it can go onto demanding astro-imaging. The 3600GTO is the solution for imaging with large instruments or with a combined weight.

Astro-Physics binoculars are high-tech with multi-coatings on all lens and prism surfaces for the highest possible light transmission and image contrast. The models Astro-Physic manufacture are the 10.5X70 Premium astronomical binoculars and the 15X70 Premium astronomical binoculars.

Mounting plates are another product of Astro-Physics. They produce an arrangement of dovetail mountings and fixed mountings. Astro-Physics also offer an array of accessories from counterweight shaft options, shaft extension and shaft safety parts, tripod, piers, power supplies and so much more. From the smallest accessory to the largest telescope mount you will find Astro-Physics products to be of the finest quality.
