Celestron CG-5 Universal Mounting Plate # 94213
Looks like a perfect plate for mounting my PST to my 6se fork drive. Haven't had the time to try it out yet, but looking forward to doing so soon!

Handle with care...
The handle have a nice chape and a good looking finish. To install it is very simple straight forward. But there is a flaw. The handle interferes with the altitude nob and the focuser. The good news is that one can bend the handle towards right to c...

Good, economical mount.
This was my second AVX mount and I've been very happy with both. It's economical, lightweight, looks sharp, and performs very nicely. Along with a PoleMaster for polar alignment, I reached almost "straight line" tracking using PhD...

Excellent.
This an excellent addition for a Celestron 6SE. Now my telescope is more solid and way easier to use different dovetails and add more accessories.

Works perfectly
Typical Vixen quality. Good finish. Not much to review. It is white so if that does no color coordinate with your sense of style, do beware.

Excellent product
I needed to reach the slow motion controls for a 127mm f/9.5 scope on a SkyTee2 alt-az mount, and got two of these 13in cables. Items arrived quickly, installed in 30sec, and has been working perfectly.

Great Tripod Great value
Having the Celestron Photography and Video tripod # 93606 I can honestly say it was a great item I purchased for my Binoculars. I don't have to hold my binoculars any more because I now attach them to my Celestron Binocular Adapter. No more Arm ...

Works with some modification
I was able to drill this out to fit a Tasco 10TE mount, which has a shaft larger than 6mm. The end has plenty of metal to take out another mm, and the lock screw still has enough thread to work well.

Compatible with Meade LXD-55 mount
Compatible with Meade LXD-55 mount and bridge. I can use all my applications such as APT, Sharpcap but haven't figured out how to have ASCOM communicate with PHD2 and the other software packages.

Fits and holds on to the Nexstar 80gt OTA just fine. Works fine with '' Agena V Series Vixen-Style Dovetail Bar - 180mm (7.1") Long # DR03! ''. Easy to mount the tube and to remove.
