Vai al moduloComputerized German GoTo equatorial mount Celestron CGX-L with 35 kg payload, 144 mm worm wheels, belt drive, integrated optical sensors and 2.75" steel tripod — the definitive solution for large aperture optical tubes, garden observatories and remote imaging
144 mm worm wheels and belt drive for extreme payloads
The Celestron CGX-L is the large version of the CGX series, designed to effortlessly support large-aperture Celestron optical tubes — 11" and larger Schmidt-Cassegrain, EdgeHD and heavy imaging Newtonians. The 144 mm diameter worm wheels provide smoother operation and more precise guiding under heavy loads, with a certified payload capacity of 35 kg. The belt drive eliminates backlash on both axes for precise and silent tracking. The 270 mm dovetail saddle — longer than the standard CGX — supports larger optical tubes securely.
Architecture for remote use and observatory
The optical Home and Limit sensors on both axes enable fully unattended remote operation: the mount always returns to its reference position at startup and stops automatically before reaching the mechanical stops. The steel tripod with 2.75" legs and wider stance provides exceptional stability under heavy loads, with a lower minimum height for greater rigidity. The equatorial base with adjustable latitude from 3° to 65° can be shifted to optimize the centre of gravity. Tracking up to 20° past the meridian on both sides.
Advanced connectivity and PWI software
The CGX-L offers 4 auxiliary ports, autoguider port, USB port and the NexStar+ hand controller with mini-USB connector. The accessory tray accommodates 1.25" and 2" eyepieces with a vertical smartphone or tablet stand. The Celestron PWI software, co-developed with PlaneWave Instruments, integrates multi-point pointing model for absolute precision. The All-Star Polar Alignment procedure enables polar alignment on any bright star. The saddle supports standard Vixen/CG-5 and Losmandy/CGE bars.
