• Right Ascension tracking compensates for the Earth’s rotation
• Can be used in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere
• For Celestron CG-2 and CG-3 equatorial mounts

• Miniature tripod perfect for using your telescope on an elevated surface such as a picnic table
• Provides a solid, sturdy base for your NexStar Evolution, NexStar SE, and Celestron Origin fork arm mount with telescope tube
• Features adjustment knobs and a bubble level to ensure the telescope is perfectly level even if the tabletop is not
• Three captured screws securely lock your mount and telescope to the tripod

Combined with the aperture of 300mm and focal length of 1500mm, this scope is great for prime-focus photography. Higher quality images can be achieved with the optional coma corrector.

For eight years, Celestron’s workhorse CGEM mount lineup has been the German Equatorial backbone for telescopes ranging from 6 to 11 inches of aperture. Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved. Celestron’s engineering team applied their years of experience designing German Equatorial mounts to the all-new CGX EQ, a culmination of all the advancements made to our technologies, value, and ease-of-use.

The HEQ5 GOTO mounts are the perfect entry level computerised GOTO mount for beginners as well as experienced astronomers. The HEQ5 provides extremely high precision tracking and have built in autoguider ports.

This heavy-duty HEQ5 Pro mount has a maximun rated payload capcity of 13.7 kg and is a smaller version of the venerable and sturdy EQ6 Pro and NEQ6 Pro mounts. The HEQ5 Pro is specially designed for observers wanting to step into astro imaging but may find the EQ6 mounts a bit too heavy. 

The HEQ5 pro comes with a 3 year limited warranty.
