A
serious, high performance telescope in a compact size, The
C5-S allows it to easily outperform a smaller aperture telescope.
The C5-S optical system comes with StarBright®
coatings.  Offering
4-1/2 times more light gathering ability than a 60mm telescope
and 2-1/2 times more than an 80mm scope, Celestron’s
C5-S is the clear choice when a powerful instrument delivering
brilliant, crisp views is what you require. The reputation
for excellence of this optical system is such that it was
chosen by NASA for many space shuttle missions. On or off
the sturdy CG-5 Equatorial mount, the C5-S makes a wonderful
spotting scope and a powerful telephoto lens.
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.
