Celestron CGX/L Mount

Celestron CGX/L Mount
PREPPED, PRIMED & READY FOR ACTION

The Celestron CGX/L Mount with equatorial head is waiting for transfer to the permanent observatory.

Dwarfed in the background is a Celestron 9.25-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain EdgeHD OTA also waiting for completion of the largest observatory. The mounting and head, despite its handles, became too heavy to lift for one person.

The mount is an electronic digital goto that must avoid placement near any strong magnetic fields. The challenge is balancing the location of the largest observatory against the convenience of access.
