    Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope (SCT) Optical Tube Assembly (OTA) and CGE Computerized Mount — Portability and Stability In A Complete System. All CGE's can be quickly disassembled into easy to handle transportable components — even the CGE 1400! Recognized for superior stability, German Equatorial mounts eliminate the tuning fork like vibration associated with fork mounted telescopes. The new CGE's are ideal for viewing objects in every part of the sky ? even in the North where fork mounts have difficulty pointing.
