Celestron Telescope Mounts
Celestron offers several go-to German equatorial telescope mounts as stand alone products. The CGEM mount is now the most popular because it combines permanent periodic error correction with a 40 pound instrument capacity. The Advanced Series (a.k.a. CG-5)mount is suitable for visual use with Schmidt-Cassegrains up to eleven inches, or refractors up to six inches in aperture. The CGE Pro mount is Celestron's offering for serious astrophotography. This mount is rated for an instrument capacity of 90 pounds, and is also sold with Celestron's fourteen inch EdgeHD and Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tubes.
