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
The C10-NGT is the largest computerized Newtonian in its class with 178% more light gathering than the 6 inch model and almost
twice the resolving power. The optics of the C10-N telescope are manufactured to Celestron's uncompromising standards. The C10-N
uses diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirrors for razor sharp star images across a wide field of view. This telescope is
mounted on the very rigid computerized CG-5 German Equatorial mount.
A counterweight, latitude scale, setting circles, and
slow motion controls on both axes are standard. Includes premium accessories including a 9x50 finderscope with bi-directional
alignment screws and a spring loaded pivot support, 20mm Plossl 1-1/4" eyepiece, 2" focuser, accessory tray and more, so you have
a fully loaded telescope right from the start.

objects and expanded information on over 200 objects. Custom database lists of all the most famous deep-sky objects by name and
catalog number; the most beautiful double, triple and quadruple stars; variable star; solar systems; objects and asterisms.
Using the RS-232 communication port on the hand control, you can control the telescope via a personal

An autoguider port is also included for astrophotography.
CG-5 Mount - Precision engineered for
stability.
Our new German Equatorial mount has precision worm gears on both axes for extremely smooth stability.
The key element that makes this system the most stable in its class is the NEW heavy-duty tripod with larger and more substantial
legs that offer excellent damping characteristics for more stable views. The CG-5 also has a convenient latitude scale for easier
alignment and an optional polar finder scope for the ultimate in precision alignments.
