[QUOTE=The_bluester;1450708]I am a little of two minds. I like the CEM60EC, but the new design of the EQ8 overcomes a lot of the compromises that had me looking toward the ioptron, with a much bigger payload to boot.




i am also looking at a mount with a heavier payload, the CEM 60 EC was one i was considering but lots of problems seem to occur with guiding and for longer exposures it appears better to turn off the encoder so maybe the non encoder mount might be a better option. ( see Lee's comments )
The new Losmandy G11GT might be worth considering.
