The Celestron Advanced Series Newtonian telescopes offer additional features, heavier mounting
and larger apertures than ever before. The CG-5 German equatorial mount now includes ultra
sturdy 2" stainless steel legs for extra rigidity and vibration dampening.
The CG-5 tripod comes with an all metal center leg brace / accessory tray to give rock solid
support to the mount. To attach the equatorial mount to the tripod:
1. Place the equatorial mount on the tripod as
described in your owner's manual.
2. With the accessory tray removed, use the
mounting knob to thread the central rod into
the hole at the bottom of the equatorial
mount.
3. Slide the accessory tray over the central rod
so that each arm of the tray is pushing
against the inside of the tripod legs.
4. Thread the accessory tray knob on to the
central rod and tighten.
