Introduction
The CGX-L German Equatorial Mount and Tripod was
designed to support your telescope for both visual
observation and astrophotography. When used correctly,
the CGX-L serves as a steady platform, with accurate
pointing and tracking for your telescope. Please review
these instructions to familiarize yourself with the mount and
to get started.
Warning
Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or
with a telescope (unless you have the proper solar filter).
Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
Never use your telescope to project an image of the Sun
onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the
telescope and any accessories attached to it.
Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel
wedge. Internal heat build-up inside the telescope can
cause these devices to crack or break, allowing unfiltered
sunlight to pass through to the eye.
Never leave the telescope unsupervised. Make sure
an adult who is familiar with the correct operating
procedures is with your telescope at all times, especially
when children are present.
System Requirements
The CGX-L requires 12 volts of DC power with at
least 3 amperes of current. An AC to 12VDC 5A
power supply is available from Celestron and includes
a threaded barrel connector which is recommended.
Portable 12 volt field batteries also make suitable power
supplies. The mount includes a DC power cable with a
cigarette lighter plug.
The telescope must have a dovetail mounting bar that
is either the CG-5/Vixen or CGE/Losmandy D format.
CGX-L can fit either of these sizes on the dovetail saddle.
For best performance, the total telescope payload
should not exceed 75 lbs (34 kg), not including
counterweights.
Windows 7 or 10 for use with the telescope
control software.
USB cable with the standard A connector when
plugged into the USB port on the mount (for PC
use only).
