Astronomy Boy: Improving the CG-5 Equatorial Mount

CG-5.jpg

Jeff DeTray [Astronomy Boy] has written an informative tutorial on how you can remove the "kinks" from your CG-5 German Equatorial Mount. 'The CG-5 is a popular medium-duty equatorial telescope mount available from several manufacturers. Actually, "CG-5" is Celestron International's name for its version of this mount, but other manufacturers sell what appears to be the same mount, and some of them have "borrowed" the CG-5 name. The same mount is sometimes sold as the "EQ-4." The information can be read on the website or downloaded in PDF format.
