Very pleased with this mount. I Have several scopes and mount/tri pod set ups. Pay attention to the listed weight capacity and it provides a solid , medium weight set up. Once polar aligned it will "track" via the RA knob only. I've used it with a 6" reflector and a 5" SCT. Add the motor drives and you'll be impressed.

Decent mount and tripod

This mount is really the holy grail of equatorial mounts.  It has the pedigree of the Vixen SP and GP. mounts.  What really struck me about this purchase is that I ordered this mount yesterday morning at 2am, and it arrived at my house at 4:45pm today.  Talk about wonderful service.

The mount I bought will be used with my AT115EDT.  This scope weighs in at 17 pounds all dressed out and the CG4 handles it with no problem at all.  Whether you are a seasoned astronomer or just beginning, I highly recommend this mount.

Awesome Mount

Everything is good, no problem's here. Fast delivery, and they even sent me a extra cg-4 mount. I sent it back of course.

Satisfied

Solid well built, heavy duty, tripod legs. Everything is solid steel. Craftsmanship is superior to any other equatorial mount on this price.I work as a quality inspector. And this mount meet and exceed my requirements and expectations. I would definitely recommend to any one looking to buy a good quality built equatorial mount.

CG4 German Equatorial Mount

Good craftsmanship

Love this telescope. Great optics. If you like refractors, buy this one!

Great telescope

For my first steps into visual astronomy this is a beautiful setup. Very sturdy and well made.

Get first

Very nice telescope. Could use some better instructions on how to  assemble. You will need to take time and patience to learn how to 
use it.

Very nice telescope for the money.

Very high quality.   Excellent directions concerning assembly.

CG-4 equatorial mount

Love it. Seems to be well built. Just waiting for scope to put on it. ??

Well built tripod

Great sturdy mount, easy to add upgraded polar scope and RA / Dec motors.

Great Mount for the price

Great sturdy manual equatorial mount. Very smooth operation.

Great sturdy mount.

Outstanding mount!  We bought the Celestron Omni XLT 150 that comes with this mount.  It is an amazing mount!  It's very heavy, sturdy, and accurate.

Outstanding Telescope Mount!

Fantastic mount. Easy to put together. Very sturdy.

Great mount

This mount lasted me 2 years. the mounting bolt stripped out. Asked how much to repair, answer was 289.00,  looks nice, worked well, but it isnt reliable. It will give, and hope you dont have your favorite scope on it when it does.

Just dint

I am very happy with this telescope. I bought it because I read it was for an intermediate user and I was ready for that challenge. I found it easy to put together and easy to use. It feels very sturdy due to the tripod being rather heavy. I have to take it outside in two parts. I don’t know how long I’ll be patient about that. One complaint is I hate that white cup that covers the R A setting circle. All the knobs are close together so that cup gets bumped and drops to the ground many times a night. Really annoying! Over all, I’m happy I bought this telescope and look forward to improving my skills.

Omni XLT 120 telescope

If you are not needing an automated mount this the CG4 is all you'll need

It is a heavy and sturdy mount. Everything was easy to put together. It comes with a spot for a polar scope, but you have to buy the polar scope separately. The slow motion controlls are smooth and feel great. Overall im quite happy!

Great, sturdy, heavy eq mount!

The Celestron CG-4 is an excellent tripod.  Extremely well built and very solid.  This is an excellent value as getting a quality product for a very reasonable price.  Would very much recommend the CG-4 for any telescope.

Awesome tripod

It's very nice! Strong and stable came as a kit but easy to put together!

It's as described

I purchased this mount for use to photograph the Solar Eclipse.  This mount is ideal as you can manually track the sun and moon without "stepping".  This mount is built extremely well and is very sturdy and light enough to carry into remote locations as needed.  You can add a motorized unit for fine movements and a pier to raise the height of your refractor scope.  The Orion 7393 SkyView Pro Telescope extension fits perfectly on this mount to give you an extra 16" of height and added weight which allows you to keep the legs non extended for superb stability and control when using a piggyback setup or while using a primary focus mount setup for your camera.  You can also purchase the Celestron CG-4 Polar finderscope to help with fast and easy polar alignments.

Highly recommended mount for the price..

Perfect mount for short exposure photography

solid mount

Super solid mount that is a pleasure to use. Works and looks perfect.

Only had one issue that was easily fixed. The Right Ascension knob was a little tight with some stiction when I unpacked it but a few sprays of a silicone lubricant freed it up and it is silky smooth now.

I also called Celestron with the intention of purchasing a second set of slow motion control knobs so I wouldn't need to reach far depending on my target. To my surprise they didn't sell extra sets, BUT, they did send me an extra set free of charge as a "replacement set". Very cool of them to do that!

Rock Solid Mount and Great Value

It is difficult to reach the dec and ha controls when you are at the eyepiece of a 6" refractor. Would benefit from some control extensions to make it more user friendly.
