Celestron - Mounts & Tripods

Advance Series Computerized (GOTO) Mounts

CG-5 Computerized — GoTo convenience and GPS compatibility for precision accuracy
We are proud to offer a computerized GoTo version of Celestron’s sturdy CG-5 mount. Couple
this solid mount with the included computerized control system to utilize many of the same functions and
features — like the NexStarcomputer control system and an Autoguider port for long exposure deep sky
astrophotography — as Celestron’s most advanced GoTo telescopes. 
GoTo models are also upgradeable to
GPS with the optional CN16 GPS Accessory (#93966) allowing your telescope to pinpoint your position on the
earth, the date and 

CGE Mounts

Recognized For Superior Stability
An improved Super HD Tripod supports the CGE mount.
This fully extendable tripod is made from the finest cold rolled carbon steel and can be raised to a height
of 50”. The tripod uses a dual leg support for maximum rigidity with an upper leg brace to provide an outward
preload and a lower leg brace providing inward tension.
CGE Equatorial Mounts Can Easily be
Balanced on Both Axes
Balancing the weight of camera equipment and other visual accessories is
accomplished by simply sliding the counterweight for Right Ascension and moving the optical tube along its
dovetail mounting for Declination. This means that no additional weight needs to be added to balance the
telescope when additional accessories are added.
Clearance For Accessories
CGE
mounts support their tubes at a single contact point allowing the tube to move freely around its polar axis
without making contact with the telescope’s mount. This is particularly useful when adding photographic and
CCD instruments that extend from the rear of the telescopes.
GPS Compatible
All CGE
mounts are compatible with Celestron’s CN16 GPS accessory (Item #93967). Combine the GPS and built-in
Hibernate mode and these mounts will keep track and remember their exact location and time without the need
to re-enter the information into the remote hand control.
