I’m seriously considering cancelling my order for a mount tripod from a well-known but unnamed high-end manufacturer in favor of the CGX-L for my order of an 11″ RASA, also with plenty of lead time, thanks to Corona, saving almost 5 kilobus in the process. My Sky-Watcher Esprit 100 ED and William Optics Fluorostar 132 scopes feature the wider 3-inch dovetail for improved stability, and fit securely on the CGX-L.
This is something I have never experienced before on any of my telescope mounts, and I can certainly see the benefits of this attribute when using the CGX-L in an observatory. The dual dovetail mount provides convenient mounting options for the Vixen and Losmandy dovetail bar configurations.
My Sky-Watcher Esprit 100 ED and William Optics Fluorostar 132 telescopes feature a wider 3-inch dovetail for improved stability, and fit securely on the CGX-L. The truth is that a polar scope is often a good idea if you want accurate polar alignment in your telescope – this is a must if you want strong tracking accuracy.
Compatibility
The CGX-L is one of many compatible Celestron mounts that can use the StarSense AutoAlign telescope attachment. I can’t imagine traveling with the Celestron CGX-L mount, but that will depend on how manageable the setup process experience is in my backyard.
Celestron’s German CGX-L equatorial mount is designed for observatories and travel systems and is capable of carrying some of the larger telescopes with ease. For now, the idea is to build a semi-permanent deep sky imaging rig that utilizes all the inspired features of the Celestron CGX-L from my backyard.
The celestron celestron cgx-l GoTo EQ telescope mount head enhances the venerable CGX platform to provide users with a heavy duty research quality mount for larger optical tube assemblies (OTAs), accessories, and imaging equipment. The positive experiences I’ve had with this entry-level telescope mount from Celestron since the beginning are the reason I expect to fall in love with the CGX-L.
