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. |
