Condition: This is a CGEM in excellent condition, with virtually no marks on it. This is an older model, but it functions just fine, with smooth, quiet movement on both axes.  The previous owner upgraded the original saddle to an ADM dovetail.  It includes everything you need to get going:  

  • mount head, tripod, NexStar hand control (not NexStar +)
  • JMI foam-lined hard case for the mount head
  • JMI soft case for the tripod
  • two 17-lb. counterweights, which are in a bit rough shape
  • the 12V AC adapter
  • the cigarette plug DC adapter 
  • original CGEM manual

At just SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS, this is priced to move and won't last!  

We do not have the boxes for this, so this is for in store pickup only.

  

 

   

  • Holds a maximum instrument capacity of 40 lbs
  • CGEM Computerized Equatorial Mount
  • Ultra sturdy 2" steel tripod with Accessory Tray

 

Design

The CGEM™ mount has a fresh, attractive, bold appearance and is capable of carrying Celestron’s higher-end SCT optical tubes (up to 11") securely and vibration free, which is ideal for both imaging and visual observing. Capable of holding over 40 lbs of payload and slewing at 5° per second, you will be able to instantly point to any of the celestial objects in the database.

Ergonomic Design - CGEM was designed to be ergonomically friendly with large Altitude and Azimuth adjustment knobs for quick and easy polar alignment adjustment. The internal RA and DEC motor wiring provides a clean look and an easy and trouble free set up.

Innovation - The CGEM series has a new innovative Polar alignment procedure called All-Star™. All-Star allows users to choose any bright star, while the software calculates and assists with polar alignment. Another great feature of the CGEM sure to please astroimagers, is the Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PEC) which will allow users to train out the worm gears periodic errors, while the mount retains the PEC recordings.

Performance - For objects near the Meridian (imaginary line passing from North to South), the CGEM will track well past the Meridian for uninterrupted imaging through the most ideal part of the sky. The CGEM mount has a robust database with over 40,000 objects, 100 user defined programmable objects and enhanced information on over 200 objects.

Celestron's CGEM mount is the perfect fit between the Advanced Series and CGE Series. Offering the portability of the Advanced Series and the precision of the CGE.
