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. |
