CGEM-DX Celestron CGEM DX - GoTo mount with tripod - more stability



The new, improved DX version of the CGEM offers even greater load capacity and stability. With a payload of 22 kg, it even carries a Celestron 14 SC or HD telescope.

This is made possible by the more powerful engines, the more solid counterweight rod and the sturdier tripod of the CGE Pro mounts. Especially in astrophotography or for the use of long refractors it depends on maximum stability. The CGEM DX provides the necessary reserves and is as portable as the standard version and offers the same software features. A mount can not be too stable! The optimized engine electronics position even more accurately, so the target is centered even at high focal lengths after focusing on a bright star.

From the massive connection of the tripod to the mounting pole block, to large-dimensioned azimuth and pole height screws via selected worm gears up to 3 "tube prism clamping, everything was mechanically covered and improved.
High-quality servomotors with planetary gearboxes provide the drive technology basis for photographic tracking accuracy.
Internal motor cabling and encapsulated, cold-resistant drive electronics help to avoid cable clutter and short circuits in field operation. The Celestron drive software with patented All-Star alignment technology allows accurate mounting of the mount in just a few minutes, even without viewing the Polarstern. A 16-channel GPS receiver is available as an option.
Several pointing and periodic screw correction methods are available. Precise tracking is supported mechanically and software-wise up to 30 ° above the meridian. The dreaded penetration of other mounts from east to west is eliminated.
Included in the price is the ASCOM-compatible NexRemote Pointing Software on CD with all functions can be controlled from the house or car via laptop. Connections for SBIG or LVI SmartGuiders, however, enable sub-second accurate CCD tracking correction for DSLR photography even without a PC or laptop.
