The ultimate equatorial mount for the serious astronomer and astro imager. The G-11 is the reference standard for other mounts in its class. It can carry up to 60lbs instrument weight (27.2kgs), so such telescopes as the Celestron C-14 optical tube presents no problem for this superb platform. No doubt you have seen some fantastic images taken with telescopes mounted on the G-11, so now this first class mount can be yours. Take your astronomy to another level. Complete with Gemini Goto system.
