The popular 6" Newtonian in the Advanced series is now available on our heavy-duty CG-5 computerized mount.
The C6-NGT Newtonian scope uses diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirrors for razor sharp star images across a wide field of
view. The optics of these heavyduty telescopes are manufactured to Celestron's uncompromising standards with star images that are
classic textbook Airy disks. 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 operating software via
the internet. An autoguider port is also included for astrophotography. No matter at what level you are starting out, this
precision instrument will satisfy your needs both visually and photographically. CG-5 Mount
