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 (2" stainless steel!), and the beefy center tray, both of which 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. Celestron is proud to offer the GT version of the Advanced Series on a computerized GoTo version of their sturdy CG-5 mount. Engineers at Celestron have coupled this solid mount with a computerized control system to utilize many of the same functions and features as their most advanced GoTo telescopes, including, among other things, an Autoguider port for long exposure deep sky astrophotography. GoTo models are also upgradeable to GPS with the optional CN16 GPS Accessory (#93963), allowing your telescope to pinpoint your position on the earth and to upload the date and time, making the alignment process faster and easier than ever before!
