Will the this CG-5 work in the southern hemisphere... i.e Sydney Lat 34 deg...? Sorry if its a stupid question but didn't want to assume.

I don't see why it wouldn't since you can input your lat-long. Good question for either telescope.com or Orion telescopes and binoculars hot line.

Thanks EvanThat does make sense.I have also since found out this item is discontinued by Celestron and replaced by the avx mount. May hunt to buy one of those instead but imagine same applies.

I don't see why it shouldn't work all over the world. It's based on GPS satelites and they operate everywhere /i'm not sure about north korea ;-) /.

Yes. I could only get it working on a windows pc though so don't think Linux unless you know all the ins and outs of it. My personal experience was limited as it got so cold for winter my laptop and telescope computer kept messing up. If you have an SLT telescope you need to take a series of 20 second exposures in Movie form and use Registax to avoid star trails. I'm looking forward to warm weather to get back out there. My mentor has taken fantastic inages of dso's and comet Lovejoy.

The phone will work in any place thats open and you have a clear view of the sky, to my understanding it only works with the satellite phone card minutes. The instructions will tell you how to set up the number and how to dial in your country.

When ordering online, unless you can specify southern hemisphere, you will most likely get a northern hemisphere balanced compass

I have this precisely working in TURKEY.. I don't think the GPS technology is based on continental boundaries :) It should globally be functional, whenever the sky is visible.

Mine is e4400 and it works. I read from other people's comments that it should work with all the latitudes.

According to the marks on the latitude adjustment rod it will go from 25 to 85 degrees in increments of 5. I also checked it against a stand alone angle finder and it seemed pretty close. One note of caution, the area where you would place a separate angle finder ( on top of the battery compartment ) is slightly rounded so you may have to factor that in. Bill

It will work fine, just don't expect scientific quality. The star maps are not extremely bright or very accurate.

I used it in London and Germany on lower setting with converters. Converters will tell you which country they are for. Iron worked great on lower setting. I use my Chi daily at home but heard from a friend that hers got fried in Germany with a converter. From what I could gather, my friends fried their irons using the hottest settings therefore, I stuck with a lower setting. I had no problems.

i'm using it in bahrain..so another middle east user. Anyhow, it's worked great to date. I lost satellite reception one time beside a building.

Timothy, The effect the earth has on the needle of a compass is different in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere. Compasses built for the northern part of the earth, above the equator have the needle "balanced" so that it is level when the compass is level. If you buy a compass built by a company located in the southern hemisphere the south end of the needle will probably float hi as compared to the north end. Cammenga manufactures here in the USA so their compass card is balanced for our local. This military marching compass is really so easy to use. The body of the compass has a nice straight edge along one side making it very useful when you want to align a map to any one of its three coordinates. The military has used this compass for many years and it is a proven performer. Note, if you want lots of features such as inclination, mirror imaging with see through hole, adjustable declination, etc. there are lots of much more complicated compasses available. All compasses point to the same place, magnetic north, no matter who made the compass. However, the earth rotates on an axis running through the North Pole to the South Pole. This axis is not magnetic, it is geographic and called "true north." Magnetic north is off to one side of the axis, though this is a somewhat simple explanation. If any compass points other than magnetic north then it has been adjusted for declination, the difference between true north and magnetic. Declination varies depending on your location on the earth's surface.

Stan, Sorry I don't have the quantitative data available such that I refer you to the manufacturer for it. Qualitatively, however, mine is doing a good job. Uncharacteristically we had a week of clouds and rain lately. As a result, the brightness and duration was impaired somewhat but at 0530 hours of the morning of the fifth day there was still a glow emitting from the 20-or-so LEDs. Now that we're past the autumnal equinox I expect some diminishment but we're more than likely to have clear than obscured skies at my altitude (~6700 ft) and latitude (~ 41degrees N) during the upcoming winter period.

It worker beautifully for me in Zimbabwe. I picked satellites everywhere I went. Upon my return I put in my tracking points into google earth. I think it will work in India too. Good luck.

Yes, it will work anywhere. The only thing is North on the compass will point South in the down under.
