Celestron has paired a 14" Schmidt Cassegrain optical tube with their premium high capacity equatorial mount, the CGX-L for major light gathering power. Capable of carrying up to 75 pounds and with improved worm gears and a belt driven system, the CGX-L offers improved tracking accuracy, minimized backlash and consistent performance. Smart design features like a shorter mount head, built in handles, an ultra heavy duty 2.75" tripod with lower stance, adjustable dual saddle plate and expanded latitude range make this a versatile mount with professional level performance.
