GC5 MOUNT

This german equatorial mount is replacing (as copy ?) the Vixen GP. Shipped with one or two weights, and should support up to 7 Kg (I tried it !). The right ascension axis and the declinaison axis included both a 144 teeth worm gear. Instead of the GPE version,the GC5 included coordonnates circles and an aluminium tripod with an accessory tray. All the options for the GP GPDX, could be used (skysensor, stellar guide...)
