More About This Category
Astronomers and even beginner stargazers look for mounts, tripods, and telescope accessories that can enhance the astronomical experience. Over the years, several discoveries and inventions were made. One is the Celestron CGX-L series, a combination of mount, wise telescope, and accessories rolled into one fantastic set that answers every astronomer’s request.
The Celestron CGX-L Mount is the culmination of all the years of experience in Celestron's world-class product engineering department. It refers to large, as it is more significant than its relative series, the Celestron CGX. With a weight capacity of 34 kg, the CGX-L mount can support the heaviest Celestron OTAs and camera accessories. Its giant 270mm extended dovetail clamp and generously sized 144mm worm gears make it lightweight, portable, and ideal for remote operation and smaller observatories.
Astronomers of all skill levels can benefit from the flexible Celestron CGX -L telescope's powerful software-driven integrated computerized system. Users may cruise the colossal night sky with remarkably accurate navigation. Time is saved, and more time may be spent observing when a celestial target enters the telescope. This telescope makes it possible to watch the motion of far-off planets, study deep-sky nebulae, or investigate lunar craters. All users can quickly learn astronomy due to its user-friendly interface, straightforward controls, and excellent optics that guarantee optimal performance.
Advantages of a Mount and Computerized Telescope Set
- Precision Tracking - Thanks to computerized telescopes and mounts that accurately track celestial objects, all skill levels may enjoy more straightforward stargazing. The precise and user-friendly CGX system makes navigation more accessible.
- Time-Efficient Observations - Quick object monitoring and location provided by computerized telescopes saves time. Improves user experience with features like hand controllers or smartphone apps for easy control. Suitable for people who wish to concentrate on particular goals and make the most of their observation time.
- Database of Celestial Objects - Pre-loaded databases containing thousands of celestial objects make exploring various targets easier. Users may quickly locate objects, star align, and polar align the mounts with the NexStar+ hand controller. It has a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen to maintain night vision and crisp navigation, a database of over 40,000 items, and 100 user-defined targets. It allows stargazers to discover new objects and expand their knowledge of the night sky.
- Multiple Alignment Options - Different alignment methods, such as star alignment and GPS, offer flexibility in setting up the telescope. Users can choose the alignment method that best suits their preferences and observing conditions.
- Remote Control and Connectivity - Some computerized telescopes can be controlled remotely via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, adding convenience. It enables users to operate the telescope from a distance, enhancing flexibility and adaptability.
What’s more, you can choose exactly the products you need and nothing else. If you’re happy with your current tripod, select the mount only. Otherwise, you can get the mount and tripod together. You also have several telescope packages with both the mount and tripod and an OTA. Options include the Celestron 1100 EdgeHD, 1400 EdgeHD, 1400 Fastar SCT, and more!
