PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Celestron Omni CG-4 German Equatorial Mount is a precision-engineered manual EQ mount ideal for visual astronomy and beginner astrophotography. Known for its stability, smooth tracking, and fine control, the CG-4 is widely respected by amateur astronomers seeking a dependable platform for refractors and small reflectors up to 15 lbs in payload.
With slow-motion control cables on both axes and setting circles for accurate positioning, the CG-4 helps users manually track celestial objects with precision. Its stainless steel 1.75" tripod legs provide a solid base for steady observation, while the included accessory tray keeps your eyepieces and tools within reach.
Built for those who appreciate hands-on control and classic equatorial design, the Omni CG-4 gives users the mechanical advantage of true polar alignment without the complexity or cost of computerized systems. Optional motor drives can be added later for enhanced tracking performance.
