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 Plössl 1-1/4" eyepiece, 2" focuser, accessory tray and more, so you
have a fully loaded telescope right from the start.
Mounted on the Advanced GT Series
computerized mount, this telescope has some high performance software and hardware
features. Operated by our proven NexStar® computer control technology the telescope has a 40,000+
object database with 400 user-definable 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 computer and our new flash upgradeable hand controls
allow you to update your telescope's operationg software via the internet. An
autoguider port is also included for astrophotography.
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.
