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.
