Celestron Polar Finderscope for CG-5, AVX and CGEM
This polar finder scope is used with the Celestron CG-5 (Advanced mount), Advanced VX, CGEM, CGEM-DX and CGEM II mounts. It is an important accessory for all photographic applications of these mounts to save long adjustment cycles (Scheiner method). With it it is possible to precisely align the mount to the true North Pole within a few minutes (with the help of Polaris). It is screwed into the hour axis of the mount.

With this useful device you can save a lot of time when setting up the telescope!

How this device is used:
Install the finder into the polar finder port, located at the rear of the mount, and focus the eyepiece until the reticle is sharp.

The reticle is etched with a few recognizable star patterns to help you align your telescope. If you are using your telescope in the Northern Hemisphere, you will recognize the Big Dipper asterism on the reticle, as well as the familiar “W” of Cassiopeia. Use the Big Dipper to guide you in the spring and summer months, and Cassiopeia during the fall and winter. The North Star, Polaris, is also designated on the reticle, as is the NCP, or North Celestial Pole. Once you choose which star pattern to use, align your telescope so that the stars line up with the positions shown on the reticle, then move the telescope’s azimuth and altitude adjustment controls to place Polaris right in the crosshairs.

The Celestron Polar Axis Finder can also be used in the Southern Hemisphere. Four stars of the constellation Octans are etched in the reticle. Adjust your telescope until those stars line up as shown on the reticle.

"Tut, was er soll. "

"Ein Polsucher ist immer das entscheidende Element um das Teleskop final auszurichten, einfach unersetzlich für die Astrofotografie! Der Celestron CG-5 AVX Polsucher im speziellen ist schnell eingeschraubt aber muss danach natürlich wie alle Polsucher noch auf die optische Achse des Teleskopes justiert werden, damit er wirklich verwendet werden kann. Hierfür sind drei kleine Schrauben am Polsucher, mit denen die Justierung mit Hilfe der beigefügten Anleitung durchgeführt werden sollte. Hier sollte man vor allem Geduld haben und sich TAGSÜBER z.B. einen weiter entfernten Mast suchen. Bleibt dabei das Fadenkreuz bei der Drehung der Rektaszensionsachse auf dem anvisierten Punkt, so war die Justierung erfolgreich! Ergänzend bleibt noch zu sagen, dass der Polsucher von Celestron ein sehr gutes Blickfeld und Piktogramme hat. So ist z.B. Cassiopeia und der Big Dipper (Großer Waagen) vorhanden, was das Auffinden und Einstellen des Polarsterns deutlich erleichtert. Ergänzend könnte man noch ein Polsucherbeleuchtung dazu kaufen."
