Description
nfirm that the stars are in the center of the field (and center them if they’re not precisely aligned), and then starts finding and tracking over 40,000 objects for you at your command. With the CGX go-to mount and the SkySync, orienting your scope in time and space on earth and aligning it on the sky becomes almost as easy a task as simply turning the mount on.
The new, 2″diameter adjustable height tripod has graduated markings on the legs to help with quick leveling. The center leg brace is drilled to form a convenient accessory tray that holds 1.25″ and 2″ eyepieces to keep them up out of the dew-soaked grass.
Optical tubes are installed on the CGX mount using a Dual-Slot on the mount head that accepts a Celestron CGE-style or Losmandy D-plate dovetail slide bar as well as the narrower Vixen Style dovetail. This allows the optical tube to be quickly and precisely balanced fore and aft on the mount, eliminating the need for an extra counterweight to balance a camera or other accessories. Setup and takedown times are exceptionally fast, as a single large hand-tighten knob holds the optical tube in place. A second lock knob prevents the tube from sliding off the mount should the hand-tighten knob loosen.
