ACCuRACy The hallmark of any telescope mount is its ability to find, center and track celestial objects with the highest degree of accuracy. FINDING A STAR With standard hand control alignment, CGE Pro has the ability to center a star in your eyepiece or ccd chip to within 5 arc minutes. using NexStar's advanced pointing features such as Calibration Stars, Sync and Precise GoTo, further improves the pointing accuracy to as low as 1 arc minute in the desired region of the sky. TRACkING A STAR With larger .75" pitch diameter worm, precision made cut-steel gears in gearboxes, and seven slot skewed armature motors the CGE Pro delivers typical tracking performance of +/-9 arc seconds, which can be further reduced with the mounts permanent periodic error correction (PPEC). INCREASED PAylOAD CAPACITy Able to hold the 14" telescope more securely as well as larger optical tubes with a maximum payload of 90lbs. All-STAR POlAR AlIGNMENT Choose any bright alignment star for a software assisted alignment of the mounts polar axis that will have you ready for imaging even if you can't see the North Star. NO-TOOl POlAR AlIGNMENT larger hand knobs for both Altitude and Azimuth adjustments. MERIDIAN TRACkING Extended tracking past the Meridian of up to 20 degrees of uninterrupted imaging through the best part of the sky. FASTER SlEW SPEED Improved gearing and motors provide faster slew speeds than ever before with a maximum slew rate of over 5°/per second. POWER MANAGEMENT Redesigned electronics deliver constant regulated power to the motors capable of driving the telescope even when not perfectly balanced. This allows the CGE Pro to have the payload capacity of that of much larger (and expensive) mounts without sacrificing smooth tracking motion and pointing accuracy across the entire sky.
