CGE SERIES FEATURES AT A GLANCE
CGE SERIES SPECIFICATIONS
Mechanical Features
• Carbon Fiber Tube – Strong and lightweight (CGE 925 and 1400 feature
aluminum optical tubes)
• CNC machined aluminum and stainless steel components
• Autoguide port, PC port and auxiliary ports located on the electronic pier
• Strain relief power cord cable protection
• Backlit power switch
• Drive Motors – Made in the U.S.A., Pittman
®
LO-COG™
brush-commutated DC motors offer smooth, quiet operation and long life
• Precision Bronze Worm Gear – 32 pitch, 5.625" pitch diameter, 180 tooth
bronze gear. Manufactured to AGMA Quality Class 10 standard, which
minimizes total composite error and backlash
• Bearing and Shaft – Stainless steel worm shaft has 0.4375 pitch
diameter and is preloaded with two ball bearings; the single piece steel
worm is made to minimize run-out, which is a source of periodic error
• No-slip clutch system for pointing precision
• Schmidt-Cassegrain mechanism that moves the primary mirror to adjust
focus is supported by two pre-loaded ball bearings, minimizing the
“mirror flop” typical of bushing focus mechanisms
• Latitude range: 10º to 60º northern or southern hemispheres
• Maximum payload: 65 lbs
Tripod
• Adjustable height: 36" to 50"
• Leg material: cold rolled carbon steel
• Upper leg diameter: 2.75"; lower leg diameter: 2.375"
Electronic and Software Features
• GoTo system is precision accurate to 1.5 arcminutes
• 40,000+ object database with 400 user-defined objects
• Hibernate – maintains alignment even while powered down
• Polar alignment routines for Northern and Southern hemispheres
• Filter limits – displays only objects above the horizon, also allows for
user-defined limits
• Permanent programmable periodic error correction (PEC) – corrects for
periodic tracking errors inherent to all worm drives
• Smooth ramping of slew motors to reduce wear on the drive train
• Home sensors on R.A. and Dec axes
• Fail-safe slew limit switches in R.A.
• Real-time clock – maintains time even when powered down
• 12VDC Servo Motors with integrated optical encoders with
0.11 arcsecond resolution
• NexRemote™ Included
