advanced user, you have to think BIG.
I f you`re looking
for an advanced first telescope with a traditional German Equatorial
mount or want to upgrade to a larger aperture telescope, consider
the C8-S telescope.
Mounted on the CG-5 EQ mount, both axes have precision worm gears
for extremely smooth motion. Equipped with 2" steel legs,
this heavy duty mount delivers jitter-free images. With adjustable
height, the very rigid tripod has excellent damping characteristics
and a convenient accessory tray/leg brace for added strength. Included
are setting circles on both axes, slow-motion controls and latitude
scale. An adjustable counterweight makes it easy to point, balance
and use.
The C8-S optical system comes with StarBright® coatings and
its large aperture offers light gathering power 843 times that
of the human eye. An optional polar alignment scope for quick alignment
as well as a motor drive is available for easy tracking for all
CG-5 mounted telescopes.
