Looks good Keith.
One wonders when this will come to Oz as Celestron seem to be offloading old stock first , and the CGX may have some teething problems it appears in some units.
Someone will have to be the guinea pig for this soon enough.
It looks great though something I would consider.

Talk to Bintel, they were the first sell the CGX units and i would expect them yo be getting in some Ls.

The CGX PWI mount control software was just released yesterday.
There have been very few CGX problems traced back to mount issues. I can recall one wiring issue, and a couple of others, but that was out of over 300 sold worldwide so far,

Hi Glen.
That Planewave Instruments software should be fabulous! .
I myself am considering the CGX for visual and casual AP , and am just waiting for some more reports!!
At BINTEL I feel IMO , you just cannot go wrong with their help as always!.
