The C10-NGT is the largest computerized Newtonian in its class with 178% more light gathering than the 6 inch model and almost twice the resolving power. The optics of the C10-N telescope are manufactured to Celestron‘s uncompromising standards. The C10-N uses diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirrors for razor sharp star images across a wide field of view. This telescope is mounted on the very rigid computerized CG-5 German Equatorial mount.

A counterweight, latitude scale, setting circles, and slow motion controls on both axes are standard. Includes premium accessories including a 9x50 finderscope with bi-directional alignment screws and a spring loaded pivot support, 20mm Plössl 1-1/4" eyepiece, 2" focuser, accessory tray and more, so you have a fully loaded telescope right from the start.

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.
