Celestron CGX-L Equatorial Mount Without Tripod

The Celestron CGX-L Equatorial Mount is a heavy-duty astrophotography platform engineered to support the largest optical tubes with unmatched stability and precision. Designed for observatory-class performance, this mount can handle payloads up to 75 lbs, making it ideal for serious visual observers and dedicated imagers using large refractors, SCTs, or RCs.

Equipped with internal cabling for cleaner operation, the CGX-L minimizes cable snags during long imaging sessions. Its belt-driven motors provide smooth slewing with minimal backlash, while spring-loaded worm gears maintain precise gear mesh under load. Thanks to Celestron’s NexStar+ hand controller, the CGX-L is easy to align, track, and control with access to over 40,000 celestial objects.

With expanded latitude range and ergonomic polar alignment features, this mount is optimized for long-exposure imaging and permanent observatory setups. Its robust build, innovative design, and astrophotography-ready feature set make it a cornerstone for professional-level astronomy.
