I have an older g11 but the great thing about this mount is it is still fully compqtible with the modern mount upgrades and parts are easy to get.

No 2 the number of drive options
1. The stepper tracking only (mine had this). With dsc Losmandy, Argonavis, Nexus etc.
2. Gemini 1 ( i have this now)
3. Gemini 2
4. Sitech ( i also have this and can use with same motora as Gemini.
5. Onstep stepper goto
6. PMC8 from ES
7. Anything you can fit onto it. I am considering eqdrive with synscan HC and stepper motors for mine. I hve seen so many varieties, littlefoot , skywalker, vixen skysensor etc etc

For a mount thats been around more than 20 years its fully upgradable to modern systems. Unlike many other vendors where older mounts can not be upgraded and need to be replaced to get new.

The issue you have is the c14. The g11 was sold with the C14 long ago by Celestron, so for visual and perhaps planetary is ok.
