Celestron CGX-L Computerized German Equatorial Telescope Mount

The Celestron CGX-L Computerized German Equatorial Mount is engineered for high payload capacity, precision tracking, and ultimate stability—designed specifically for larger OTAs and astrophotography setups. With an impressive 75 lb payload rating, this mount is ideal for supporting large Schmidt-Cassegrain tubes, heavy imaging equipment, or remote observatory configurations.

The CGX-L improves upon the original CGX with an expanded base, longer worm wheels, 2.75" steel tripod legs, and a robust, ergonomic form factor that increases stability and ease of transport. Enhanced cable management with internal wiring and stationary ports ensures snag-free operation, even during long automated slews.

Precision worm gears and dual-axis optical sensors offer superior pointing and tracking accuracy, while integrated home and limit sensors provide automated protection. Whether for serious visual observing or professional-grade imaging, the CGX-L delivers a reliable platform built to perform at the highest level.
