Celestron Polar Axis Finder 94223 for CG-4 Omni Mounts

Precision polar alignment for CG-4 Omni mounts

The Celestron Polar Axis Finder 94223 is an accessory that fits CG-4 and Omni German equatorial mounts. It provides a dedicated optical path for aligning the mount's polar axis with the north celestial pole. The unit is intended for visual astronomers who want a faster, more accurate setup than drift-alignment methods allow.

Consistent alignment during long imaging sessions

Once installed, the finder maintains its alignment relative to the mount's polar axis throughout an observing run. The fixed reticle lets the user place Polaris in the correct offset position without re-checking the finder's orientation. This stability supports extended visual sessions or guided imaging where the mount must track reliably for hours.

Passive optical operation with no power required

The device uses a simple crosshair reticle etched on glass, so it adds no electronic heat, fan noise or battery drain to the system. Its black finish matches the mount and reduces stray reflections. Because it draws no current, it imposes no additional load on the mount's power supply or controller.
