Celestron CGE mount question
It appears that the Celestron CGE mount uses the same dimensions for
counterweight shaft and toe saver as the Losmandy mounts (1.25" diameter, 3/8"-16 threads). At least one person with a Celestron CGE tells me that the shaft is 1.24" diameter. Does anyone with a Celestron CGE and a micrometer feel like telling me what numbers they are seeing? I build a product that fits the Losmandy mounts (at http://www.scoperoller.com/#QuickReleaseLM)--and it looks like it might fit the Celestron CGE as well. But if the CGE actually uses a 1.24" diameter counterweight shaft, I am going to have to make these a few thousandths smaller. Clayton E. Cramer http://www.scoperoller.com
