Legacy Reviewer's Review of Celestron Polar Axis Finderscope for CG-5 Mount - 94224
I ordered this along with the Omni XLT 150 Reflector to help get an accurate polar alignment. It would indeed make it very easy and fast to setup and align the mount ... if I could use it.
I soon discovered it was designed for the CG-5 mount ... not the CG-4 as stated on the website. A quick check of Celestron's site revealed the CG-4 mount requires a model #94223 Polar Axis Finder. Not #94224.
I called OpticsPlanet to inquire about exchanging it only to discover they did not carry the proper one for the CG-4. They issued an RMA # and I returned it for a refund. No hassle at all.
I found the proper model #94223 scope at another website and am now waiting for it to arrive. Hopefully this will soon be corrected on their website to prevent anyone else from having to return one.
Pros: Well thought out. Very accurate alignment.
Cons: Not for CG-4 mount
