Product Details

  • The Celestron Polar Finder for Advanced Series CG-5 Mount and CGEM Mounts provides you with precise alignment for long-exposure imaging! The full instructions for proper alignment are included and you can perform them anytime in about a half-hour. 

    To start observing, roughly polar align the mount and head to the machined dials on the Celestron Polar Finder. After dialing in the information, look through the 18 mm polar finderscope where you can see an etched reticle. From there, adjust the mounts altitude and azimuth controls until Polaris (North Hemisphere) is located in the small circle and you're ready to go!

    Aligning for the Southern Hemisphere is just as easy! Rotate your mount until the stars of the constellation Octans line up with the reticle pattern in the polar finder. Finally, use the altitude and azimuth controls to make fine adjustments.

      Works well.

      I was hesitant at first after reading some of the comments. Once I received it I followed the supplied instructions and it only took about 15 mikes to install and align it with my AVX mount. It wasn't as bad as it was put out there to be. That night I had no issues polar aligning. No...it doesn't have a light but you can't beat it for the price. Just have patience. Keep looking up.

      Celestron polar finder

      Seems to be a very good quality item which adapted well to my homebuilt mount and arrived very quickly.

      Worth every cent! (And then some!)

      This finder makes polar alignment a breeze. While the CGEM mount is quite capable in this by itself the addition of the scope pretty much guarantees it. Packaging and shipment was right on and ease of set up and use really simple. I have not needed a lit etching for the location of Polaris as the star is quite bright through it, even before it's full dark.Great product, OPT!

      Good, could be better.

      Aligning the reticle was a nightmare with the hex screws. I swapped them out with thumb screws and it literally takes less than 5 minutes to align now. It's a shame they didn't think about the end user in this regard, the hex screws really are not enough when adjusting to keep the reticle from falling in the scope housing, easier to keep tension on the reticle with thumbscrews so that you can tighten as you loosen. But, the scope does what it was designed to do, polar alignment is easy as pie wit this little guy--once it has been aligned, that is.
