<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 3205864, member: 83175&quot;]Hi Sallent,</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the AS-GT, (Advanced System - Go To) also sometimes known as the CG-5.</p><p>There&#039;s a polar alignment scope, covered up in the pic.&nbsp;&nbsp; I got this a long time ago - the &#039;scope in the 90s and the mount a few years ago too (the &#039;scope - Celestron Celestar 8 -was on a fork mount originally).&nbsp;&nbsp; I believe Celestron has replaced the AS-GT with the AVX, but you can probably still pick them up secondhand.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s a reasonable mount for light scopes and there are guides online to improving the stability and tracking accuracy - it can be used with autoguiders too (you need a serial port splitter).</p><p>I&#039;ve got a nexImage camera and a camera mount on the &#039;scope, but I haven&#039;t taken any photos for ages - hopefully, this winter.</p><p><br /></p><p>&lt;Obligatory coin-related bit&gt;</p><p>There are a few coin books in the background</p><p>&lt;\Obligatory coin-related bit&gt;</p><p><br /></p><p>ATB,</p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
