Q1: Is this product the mount only or does it include the tripod shown in the photo?

A: Yes the tripod is included with this package. It is for the full tripod and computerized mount.

Q2: dear sir, CG-5 Computerized Mount sutible for up how many kGS telescope? can i use it for 10 inch newtonian telescope?

A: Yes, the CG-5 mount will hold a 10 inch newtonian reflector. I will say that i would think that is the maximum size telescope for this mount, and it will offer a sturdy platform. Celestron offers thier 10 inch reflector on the same mount. This mount should be just fine for your scope.

Q3: I have a celestron C8. Is possible adapted this mounted for it?

A: i am sorry but there is no way to adapt the C8 to that mount.

Q4: What would I need to adapted my Telvue 85 to this mount

A: You will need the Great Polaris Mounting Adapter SKU # AGP-1009 you can find it in the Vixen brand under mounting accessories

Q5: How much Telescope weight it can hold without sacrificing performance?

A: This is the same mount that they use on the celestron Advanced 11 SGT which has a tube weight of approximately 65lbs. That is the biggest scope that Celestron uses this with so without sacrificing performance you could mount an OTA of approximately 65-70lbs

Q6: This product can be adapted to GPS to achieve a simple alignment? Is apt for astrofotograf￭a?

A: That is correct.

Q7: Hello, I would be interested if it is possible to just buy the goto hand control so i could computerize my CG-5 mount.

A: You can get the hand controller seperatly but the downside is that if you do not al;ready have the CG-5 COMPUTERIZED mount the hand controller will be useless as there is no computerized motor included with the hand controller and they do not sell one seperatley.

Q8: Dear Sir/Madam: Do you think it is enough to carry the C11 tube and maybe another camera? Will it be danger in that case?

A: This tripod will work just fine though you may wish to purchase additional counterweights to improve the overall balance.

Q9: Hello,does this mount come with the ciggarette lighter powercord?

A: Unfortunately, no, the Celestron CG-5 Computerized Mount does not come with the 12-volt power cord. That's a separate purchase. Here's the URL; just paste it into your browser's address window: http://telescopes.com/products/celestron-car-battery-adapter-for-all-nexstars-12047.html.

Q10: I have an Orion XT-10 on a Dob mount currently. I have been looking for a guided mount for astrophotography. Would it be possible to mount this scope on this mount? What accessories would need to be purchased with the tripod and mount to be ready to mount the scope and observe when it all arrives?

A: No it would not be possible to mount your telescope onto this tripod.  At this time there are no guided mounts available for dobsonians

Q11: Is there a general rule that will help me figure out if a given OTA can be used with this goto mount? For example, why can't a C8 be used; what about a C9.25?

A: The C8 and C9.25 OTA tubes could both fit this mount. They connect by a standard dovetail mounting bracket. Any OTA with a dovetail plate will fit the Celestron CG-5 Computerized Telescope Mount.
