Description: | The CG-5 EQ mount is the newest generation of Celestron’s German mounts (replaces the GP mount). Both axes of the equatorial mount have precision worm gears for extremely smooth motion. It is a step up from the CG-4.
This heavy duty mount delivers jitter-free images easily and the adjustable height aluminum, very rigid tripod has excellent damping characteristics and a convenient accessory tray.
Included are setting circles on both axes, slow-motion controls and latitude scale. An adjustable counterweight makes it easy to point, balance and use.
An optional polar alignment scope for fast polar alignment as well as motor drives are available for easy tracking.
