CGX Computerized Mount and Tripod - 91530

The Celestron CGX is a high-capacity, astrophotography-ready mount designed for smooth tracking and precise GoTo functionality, engineered to carry a 55 lb payload with a belt drive system for minimal backlash and internal cabling to prevent snags. This German equatorial mount offers all the performance and features found on observatory grade mounts in a user-friendly package that can travel with you to remote observing sites, created from the ground up with a completely new industrial and mechanical design. The mount features a 2 line x 18 character backlit Liquid Crystal Display hand control with 19 LED backlit buttons, USB 2.0 Port, and a NexStar+ Database with 40,000+ objects and 100 user defined programmable objects. Internal optical sensors stop the mount from moving past slew limits, preventing your optical tube from striking the tripod, with these limits being quite generous at 20 degrees past the meridian in each direction.
