As the successor to the popular CGEM mount, the CGEM II has a modern design and also supports the larger Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrains (up to 11") safely and vibration-free, which is ideal for photographic use as well as for visual observations.

With a payload of up to 18 kg and a slewing speed of up to 5° per second, you can quickly target any object in the database.
