you’re looking for an advanced first telescope with a traditional German
Equatorial mount or want to upgrade to a larger aperture telescope, consider the

mount delivers jitter-free images. With adjustable height, the very rigid tripod
has excellent damping characteristics and a convenient accessory tray/leg brace
for added strength. Included are setting circles on both axes, slow-motion
controls and latitude scale. An adjustable counterweight makes it easy to point,
balance and use. The C8-S optical system comes with StarBright®
coatings and its large aperture offers light gathering power 843 times that of
the human eye. An optional polar alignment scope for quick alignment as well as
a motor drive is available for easy tracking for all CG-5 mounted telescopes.
