Vixen Celestron Accessory Polar Axis Telescope CGX/CGX-L 36064 CELESTRON 94239

The CGX equatorial mount makes it easy to align the polar axis. In the Northern Hemisphere, simply rotate the right ascension axis in the direction where you can see the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia, and then align Polaris in the designated position. In the Southern Hemisphere, align the four stars of the constellation Apocyna within the reticle. For visual observations, you can simply set the equatorial mount facing north, but if you require precision for astrophotography or long-term observations, you will need to set it up using a polar axis telescope. [Easily align the polar axis with the CGX equatorial mount] In the Northern Hemisphere, simply rotate the right ascension axis in the direction where you can see the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia, and then align Polaris in the designated position. In the Southern Hemisphere, align the four stars of the constellation Apocyna within the reticle. [A Must-Have for Astrophotography] For visual observations, a simple setup with an equatorial mount facing north is sufficient, but for astrophotography or long-term observations that require precision, a polar axis telescope is required.
