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 inches. 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.
