Celestron’s Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assemblies
(OTA) are available individually for use with your favorite
Celestron mount. Each OTA is made to the same exact
standards as those used on all our high quality telescopes.
Every optical surface is carefully coated with Celestron’s
high efficiency StarBright® multi-layered coating group. All
tube assemblies are equipped with the same dovetail mounting
bar used on the CGE and Advanced Series for easy attachment
to a variety of popular mounts. Every tube assembly is
quality control tested at our manufacturing facility in
Torrance, CA for a telescope that is out of this world!
OTA Features
- Aluminum tube construction
- StarBright XLT® coating is standard on all models
- Two dovetail options available for each tube size,
one fits our CG Mount the other fits the CGE Mount
- All EdgeHD tubes are FASTAR compatible

CGEM Equatorial Mount |
The hot CGEM mount has a fresh, attractive, bold appearance
and is capable of carrying Celestron’s higher-end
Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tubes (up to 11”) securely and
vibration free, which is ideal for both imaging and visual
observing.
CGEM – A Feast For Your Eyes In More Ways Than One
CGEM was designed to be ergonomically friendly with
large Altitude and Azimuth adjustment knobs for quick and
easy polar alignment adjustment. CGEM has a new innovative
Polar alignment procedure called All-Star™. All-Star allows
users to choose any bright star from the hand control, while
the software calculates and assists with polar alignment.
Another great feature of the CGEM, sure to please
astroimagers, is the Permanent Periodic Error Correction
(PEC) which will allow users to train out the worm gears
periodic errors, while the mount retains the PEC recordings.
For objects near the Meridian (imaginary line passing from
North to South), the CGEM will track well past the Meridian
for uninterrupted imaging through the most ideal part of the
sky. The CGEM mount has a robust database with over 40,000
objects, 100 user defined programmable objects and enhanced
information on over 200 objects. |
CGEM Series EQ-Mount Features
- NEW All-Star™ Polar Alignment lets you choose any
bright alignment star for a software assisted alignment
of the mounts polar axis that will have you ready for
imaging even if you can’t see the North Star
- Permanent PEC, permanently programmable periodic
error correction (PEC) corrects for periodic tracking
errors inherent to all worm drives.
Mount will remember its PEC compensation once trained
- Meridian Tracking, for extended tracking past the
Meridian for uninterrupted imaging through the best part
of the sky
- CGE style mounting platform for secure, vibration
free tube attachment
- Polar alignment control knob with larger, easy to
move adjustment knobs for both Altitude and Azimuth
- Improved database with 40,000+ objects, 100 user
defined programmable objects and enhanced information on
over 200 objects

CGE-PRO Series Mount & OTA |
Celestron’s newest line of observatory class German
equatorial telescopes
The CGE Pro computerized series is part of Celestron’s line
of observatory class
German equatorial telescopes. Offered with 9.25”, 11” and
14” aperture Schmidt
Cassegrain optical tubes, they all come mounted on the new
state of the art CGE Pro
GoTo mount.
The German Equatorial mount has long been the favored choice
of astronomy buffs
and astrophotographers because of its stability and
portability. More stable because the center of gravity is
directly over the center of its base, more portable
becauseit can be broken down into smaller component parts
for easy storage and
transportation.
For astrophotography, the German Equatorial mount offers
easier balancing,
unlimited space at the rear of the telescope tube to mount a
camera, and whole sky access. Now you can enjoy all of the
NexStar software and database features with the extra
stability and portability of a German Equatorial mount.
In addition to being fully computerized with a database of
over 40,000 celestial objects, the CGE Pro German Equatorial
mount has been completely redesigned to offer numerous
design advantages:
Increased Payload Capacity
Able to hold the 14” telescope more securely
as well as larger optical tubes with a maximum payload of
41kg
All-Star Polar Alignment
Choose any bright alignment star for a software
assisted alignment of the mounts polar axis that will have
you ready for imaging even if you can’t see the North Star.
No-Tool Polar Alignment
Larger hand knobs for both Altitude and
Azimuth adjustments.
Meridian Tracking
Extended tracking past the Meridian of up to 20
degrees of uninterrupted imaging through the best part of
the sky.
Faster Slew Speed
Improved gearing and motors provide faster
slew speeds than ever before with a maximum slew rate of
over 5°/per second. |

source of periodic error). 255 teeth 6”
pitch diameter precision made worm wheel with enveloping
brass teeth
- Main shafts are made from 1.57” diameter steel
tubing with .40” wall thickness with two
preloaded 2.68” O.D. tapered roller bearings on each
axis
- 4 point RA and DEC clutch system for no-slip
pointing precision
- Primary mirror focusing mechanism is supported
