CELESTRON'S MEWEST LINE OF OBSERVTORY CLASS GERMAN EQUATORIAL TELESCOPES
The CGE Pro computerized series is Celestron's newest line of observatory class German equatorial telescopes. Offered with 9.25", 11" and 14" aperture schmidt Cassergrain optical tubes, they all come mounted on the new state of the art CGE Pro GoTo mount.
The German Equatorial mount has lng been the favored choice of astronomy buffs and astrophotographers becasue of its stability and portability. More stable becasue the center of gravity is directly over the centre of its base, more portable because it can be broken down into smaller component parts for easy starage and transportation.
For astrophotography, the German Equatorial mount offers easier blancing, unlimited space at the rear of the telescope tube to mount a camera, and whole sky access. Now you can enjoy all the NexStar software and database features with the extra stability and portability of a Gernam Equatorial mount. |
