Yes, CPC800 OTA's are different, the screw holes, etc, do not match your standard C8 OTA. Deforking can be done, it's reforking that is difficult. I'm leaning towards a standard C8 on an a CGX, the extra payload capacity would mean I can grab a larger/better OTA at a later time, and still use all my current Celestron equipment. I see opticescentral has the package for 5199 at the moment
Cheers,
