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.
