Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved. Celestron’s engineering team applied their years of experience designing German Equatorial mounts to the all-new CGX EQ, a culmination of all the advancements made to our technologies, value, and ease-of-use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  CGX was designed to better support your telescope for both visual and astro-imaging pursuits. Key design goals included a lower profile EQ head, which provides a more compact and therefore more stable setup; a better drive system; remote operation-friendly with home and limit optical sensors; easier polar alignment adjustments; and better cable management. In addition to that, we’ve made mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout to make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and transport.

It offers the benefits of our revolutionary “center balance” design: stability, accuracy, and smooth mechanical operation, while capable of carrying a payload up to 115lbs (52 kg).  The “center balance” design’s natural stability is due to its focusing the mount along with payloads weight directly over the center of the pier or tripod.  The CEM120s performance is demonstrated by its low periodic tracking error of \u0026lt;0.15 arc sec RMS with the EC model.  Along with the stability aspect, the CEM120 features an advanced cable management system consisting of more ports in more locations preventing tangle ups and reducing the chance of fractured cables.

The two encoders enable the mount to perform dual axes tracking. With advanced sky modeling the CEM120EC2 will be able to account and adjust for polar alignment error as well as changes in atmospheric (refractive) distortion. Fixed home sensors on each axis, allow the mount to save alignment models after power off too to be used on future nights. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFeatures\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;

It is also available a special kit that, in addition to distancing the telescope from the mount, allows the housing of a small guide scope obtaining also a better telescope balancing.

Its declination axis can be quickly balanced like in an equatorial mount, while, for the RA axis, it is possible to fix the arm on three possible positions and to make a fine balance using a very small counterweight. The M-uno mount, as well as the Linear, is equipped with the super tested, simple to use, and inexpensive Synscan control system. The M-uno total weight is only 14.9 kg (11 lb) and it is provided with a comfortable handle for easy transportation.
