I do not know what your budget is but you could look at the Planewave CDK 12.5. The weight of this might be a bit much for a G11 coming in at 22Kg. The time you add your camera ect you will be right on the limit of the G11. If you check out Planewave's website you will see a fantastic gallery of images. You will notice quite a variety of mounts and imaging techniques. I have ordered one of these after quite a long process of elimination. I looked at the Mede ACF the Celestron edge HD some RC's and other scopes but the quality of the images of the CDK seem to out shine them all. The GSO was not released at the time so I did not get to compare it against the CDK. Price is good compared to RC's but is quite a lot more than a Mede, Celestron or GSO.

Cheers
Phil
