The
optics of the C8-N telescope are manufactured to Celestron‘s
uncompromising standards. The C8-N uses diffraction-limited
parabolic primary mirrors for razor sharp star
images across a wide field of view. These telescopes are mounted
on the very rigid CG-5 German equatorial mount. A counterweight,
latitude scale, setting circles, and slow motion controls
on both axes are standard, so you have a fully loaded telescope
right from the start. These mounts are the most rigid and
stable type in their price range. They feature precision gears
for extremely smooth motion. The mount is supported by heavy
duty tripod with 2" steel legs for extra stability and
vibration free viewing.
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.
