Celestron Polar Axis Finderscope for CGX & CGX-L Mounts
Fast, Accurate Polar Alignment—No Apps or Coordinates Required
The Polar Axis Finderscope is an essential accessory for CGX and CGX-L mount users who want a fast and reliable way to achieve accurate polar alignment. Designed specifically for these Celestron mounts, it eliminates the need for guesswork, smartphone apps, or manual calculation of time and coordinates.
Custom-Built for CGX & CGX-L
This finderscope comes with a precision-fit dovetail base bracket that mounts directly to your CGX or CGX-L equatorial mount. Once installed, the finder can be easily removed from the bracket for transport or storage, making it ideal for astronomers on the go.
Adjustable Viewing Angle
The mounting bracket features an adjustable tilt angle, allowing you to position the finderscope for optimal comfort based on your setup. Whether you're aligning from a seated or standing position, you can rotate the finder for an accessible, unobstructed view.
Simple, Star-Based Alignment
Forget digital tools—this finderscope uses a clearly marked reticle that displays the positions of Ursa Major and Cassiopeia in relation to the North Celestial Pole. Just locate Polaris, match the constellation patterns to the reticle, and align your mount. No need for time, date, or geographic input.
Ideal for Imaging and Visual Observation
Accurate polar alignment is crucial for smooth tracking and long-exposure astrophotography. With the CGX finderscope, you’ll spend less time setting up and more time observing or imaging your favourite deep-sky objects.
