Celestron’s CGX-L Computerized Equatorial Mount is the latest addition to its fully computerized equatorial mount series. Designed to support Celestron’s largest optical tubes with ease, the CGX-L is ideal for backyard observatories and remote imagers seeking an exceptional load capacity-to-weight ratio, compact design, and innovative features to accommodate large telescopes, imaging equipment, and the latest wireless technology accessories. Key design features include larger 144mm-diameter worm wheels for smoother operation and more precise tracking under heavier loads, along with a longer 270mm dovetail saddle for enhanced support of larger optical tubes. Remote-operation-friendly features include home and limit optical sensors, while improved polar alignment adjustments make setup easier. Enhanced cable management also helps maintain a cleaner and more organized configuration. Mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout the mount provide increased stability while making the CGX-L easier to operate and transport. The result is a powerful and versatile equatorial mount designed to meet the demands of advanced astronomy and astrophotography.
