Since that time, many more \u003c\/strong\u003eAstro\u003cstrong\u003e-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved. Celestron's engineering team applied their years of experience designing German Equatorial mounts to the all-new CGX EQ, a culmination of all the advancements made to our technologies, value, and ease of use.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new CGX was designed to better support your telescope for both visual and Astro-imaging pursuits. Key design goals included a lower profile EQ head, which provides a more compact and therefore more stable setup; a better drive system; remote operation-friendly with home and limit optical sensors; easier polar alignment adjustments; and better cable management. In addition to that, we've made mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout to make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and transport. The CGX is our new Equatorial backbone to support a wide range of telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacobs Digital","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50533191417944,"sku":"91530","price":6749.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/9388\/1176\/files\/91530-cgx-mount-1-570x380-2x-e8c8ba52-ed0a-4264-8f41-8fdc1ae65a86_387ce058-25d3-46ee-8853-e14743443819.jpg?v=1790277863","url":"https:\/\/buykiwi.co.nz\/products\/celestron-cgx-equatorial-mount","provider":"Buy Kiwi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
