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.

GPS-compatible with optional CN16 GPS Accessory
