Celestron Spain is pleased to present to the public the new CGX equatorial mount, the evolution of the CGEM series with mechanical, more technological and ergonomic improvements.
For 8 years the Celestron CGEM mount has been the workhorse, and backbone of equatorial mounts for telescopes ranging from 6 to 11 inches aperture. Since that time many more configurations have emerged and evolved technologically. The Celestron engineering team has applied its years of experience designing German equatorial mounts to the new CGX EQ, this being the culmination of all the advancements made in our technologies, value and ease of use. The new CGX has been designed to better support your telescope, both for observation and astrophotography thanks to its better tracking. The key design includes a lower profile EQ head, which provides a more compact and therefore more stable configuration, a better drive system, better handling and remote operation system with optical limit sensors. Easier adjustments for Polar alignment, and better cable management. In addition to that, we have made mechanical and ergonomic improvements, to make the assembly more robust, easier to use, and to transport. The CGX is our new backbone in equatorial mounts, to support a wide range of telescopes.
