For
a completely automated GoTo system, the C8-SGT
(#11026) comes mounted on the CG-5 GT
computerized EQ mount and allows access to
features like automatic star alignment
capability and GoTo slewing to over 40,000
objects. Equipped with high speed motors and
hand control, the C8-SGT allows you to remotely
slew your telescope to desired objects quickly
and accurately. No matter at what level you are
starting out, this precision instrument will
satisfy your needs both visually and
photographically.
CG-5 Mount — Precision engineered for
stability.
Our new German Equatorial mount has precision
worm gears on both axes for extremely smooth
stability. The key element that makes this
system the most stable in its class is the NEW
heavy-duty tripod with larger and more
substantial legs that offer excellent damping
characteristics for more stable views. The CG-5
also has a convenient latitude scale for easier
alignment and an optional polar finder scope for
the ultimate in precision alignments. |
