Retain your polar alignment scope!
This a professionally machined kit that allows you to install encoders on your Celestron CG-5 or similar German equatorial mount without having to remove your polar alignment scope. Most existing encoder brackets made for CG-5 or Vixen Great Polaris mounts require that you insert a bushing into the polar scope opening for the purpose of holding the RA (right Ascension) encoder shaft. This means that you can not install a polar alignment scope or that you must remove any existing polar scope. Our brackets are also much more compact and provide a "cleaner" finished installation.
If you have been using a polar scope with your CG-5 mount, you already know how much easier it is to get an accurate polar alignment with the scope than without it. A polar scope can reduce a long and tedious job to just a few easy minutes.
This works with CosmicOne DSC, JMI NGC-MAX, Lumicon NGC SkyVector, Celestron Astromaster, and similar Digital Setting Circle Systems.
A Polar Scope is NOT included with the kit, but we do sell them.
Encoders are NOT included with the kit, but they are available.
