The new German Equatorial mount has precision worm gears on both axes for extremely smooth performance. 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. The C6-S, is the newest member of the Advanced Series family. Unparalleled performance, unbeatable value! The Advanced C6-S is Celestron's first new Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system in over a decade. A totally unique aperture size, the C6-S is available in computerized (GT) and non-computerized models.
