270mm Dovetail SaddleLonger 270mm dovetail saddle to better support larger optical tubes
Accessory TrayAccessory tray holds three 1.25” and two 2” eyepieces with an upright stand for your smartphone or tablet
Optional Polar Axis FinderscopeOptional add-on polar axis finderscope custom designed for CGX and CGX-L. Supports WiFi and wireless operation accessories such as StarSense AutoAlign and SkyPortal WiFi Module, sold separately
Compact Equatorial HeadCompact, lower profile equatorial head provides improved stability and portability. Sturdier and more rigid with quicker dampening time
MotorsMotors provide more torque, better slewing and tracking under heavy loads
Clear WindowsClear windows built into motor covers so pulleys and belts can be monitored
Brass Worm WheelSpring-loaded brass worm wheel and stainless steel worm gear reduce friction and provide optimum gear mesh
Internal CablingInternal cabling for worry-free remote operation. Power input and lower accessory ports remain stationary while the mount slews to avoid snags
Internal Hard StopsInternal hard stops for both axes prevent cable tension and tripod strike
Home SensorsHome sensors allow the mount to always start in the index position regardless of orientation before a power reset
Limit SensorsLimit sensors automatically shut off slewing or tracking before reaching the hard stop fail safe
PWI SoftwareIncludes Celestron's PWI telescope control software, co-developed by PlaneWave Instruments. Software features multi-point mount modeling for extremely precise pointing accuracy
Software Polar Align“All-Star Polar Alignment” allows quick and very precise polar alignment. Align on any bright named star without extra polar alignment accessories, apps, or other assistance
Adjustable EQ HeadAdjustable EQ head position to optimize center of gravity over the tripod and fully utilize the increased 3°-65° latitude range
Meridian Tracking+20° of additional tracking past the meridian on either side
Redesigned TripodRedesigned tripod has a widened stance for added stability. The minimum tripod height has also been lowered per user feedback
Tripod LegsTripod legs can be collapsed with accessory tray installed for faster setup and transport
Ergonomic Adjustment KnobsErgonomic adjustment knobs with reduced friction for smooth and easy positioning under full loads. Stationary latitude knob with a linkage system greatly reduces the amount of friction when polar aligning the mount.
