  • Greetings. Nice set up. While assembling, it seemed at the end when you were installing the finderscope and the diagnal there was quit a bit of movement in the mount assembly. Do you find the scope and CGEM mount stable, or is there more than average vibration? Thanks

  • @alecsmart2010

    I find it to be quite stable.

  • still the same hotel lobby music ....

  • @giuliozucchi

    Yeah... kind of a drag. It's better on the IC-7000 video.

  • @jaidemm I haven't used the Galileoscope. It appears to be a very simple scope, and I wouldn't expect particularly good performance from it. That said, it's only $30, so you can't go too far wrong. And I do find it interesting for historical reasons. That is, I suppose it provides some sense of what it was like to look through Galileo's scope. It's cheap enough that I would just go for it.

  • I am very Happy that every Telescope Celestron owners are Happy into Astronomy. Astronomy and Telescopes NEEDS more Members because Astronomy and Telescopes feels that maybe We are facing a LACK of Astronomy members and friends!!!!

  • Get ready for Astro-Photography with your NEW Celestron C8" 203mm. Aperture Schmidt-Cassegrain or you can even use my Celestron C11" Optical Tube Assembly on your CGEM Mount or CG-5 GT Advanced Mount. CGEM-DX or GGE-Pro Mounts are for the Large Celestron C14" Optical Tube Assembly with Dovetail. HAVE A HAPPY Astro-Photographic or Visual Clear Stellar-Star Night!!!!

  • Very good video. Celestron telescopes are easy to assemble. It seems with a telescope that nice a 2 inch diagonal and eyepiece would be better!?

  • great video great music and can you upload a test video of this telescope thanks ^_^

  • C9.25 on a cg5 mount or a cgem c925. Is there a serious difference between the two?
