Celestron CGE Mount circa 2010 - Can Support up to a C14 OTA
Selling my heavy duty CGE Mount. Recently, I bought and AP mount as it better matched current direction in astronomy. I would like to find a new home for this mount. This mount works flawlessly. The mount can support heavy OTA's up to a C14 OTA which weighs about 50 lbs. Lighter or smaller OTA's can be supported as well. Note, you will need a Celestron standard dovetail plate to fit the CElestron dovetail saddle.
The pictures show my C14 OTA attached. The OTA is NOT for sale. Just the mount. 😊
