TPI's NEW CGE FINE AZ ADJUSTER is the MUST HAVE upgrade for your Celestron CGE mount. The original OEM ajuster is difficult to acheive a good polar alignment, due to its very inaccurate 1/4 turn AZ adjuster. The NEW TPI Fine AZ adjuster modifies the motion to a 26 turn knob or low profile Allen screw for a full 20 degrees of possible adjustment. The stock adjuster is 1/4 turn for 14 degrees. Our adjuster replaces the stock upper base disc and installs with a few allen keys and a 3/4 wrench- NO DRILLING OR ALTERATION OF YOUR MOUNT IS REQUIRED. A must for Astrophotographers and those wanting the ultimate in control and accurate polar alignment! More information available HERE! |

TPI now offers a solution to mount your Celestron CGE on a pier. This NEW Pier topper/adapter replicates the top of the CGE tripod and allows easy attachment of the electronics pier to a stationary pier or non CGE tripod. The solid 6061-T6 construction and black anodized finish will provide many years of service. We provide 4 drilled holes and 3 holes tapped to 1/2-13 threads. Side 3/8-16 tapped holes are also provided to mount your electronics pier. |
