Celestron Advanced Series C100-ED-R 100mm (4") diameter ED Refractor Telescope with Heavy Duty CG-5 German Equatorial Mount

The pinnacle of Celestron's ED scopes, this refractor is packed with great features and excellent optics. The refractor style 100ED (APO) features a 2" rack and pinion focuser and has a bracket that can adapt to a photo tripod. ED glass provides excellent color correction and razor sharp images and virtually eliminates chromatic aberration usually seen during planetary and lunar viewing. This telescope comes complete with a 25mm 1.25" eyepiece, erect image diagonal and 6x30 finderscope.

The German Equatorial mount has precision worm gears on both axes for extremely smooth stability. The key element that makes this system the most stable in its class is the heavy-duty tripod with larger and more substantial legs that offer excellent damping characteristics for more stable views. The CG-5 also has a convenient latitude scale for easier alignment and an optional polar finder scope for the ultimate in precision alignments.
