Like Stuart, I'm also interested in the CG5 mount, simply as a platform for the ED80 for astrophotography. Does anyone have any feedback on how the CG5 performs, particularly accuracy and guiding capability. At $1K for go-to it is very affordable and payload isn't always the deciding factor. One would imagine that since they're sold with the 9.25 OTA that they would have reasonable carrying capacity and being smaller that the EQ6 would be much easier to lift.
Edit: Part answer to my question can be found in
this cloudy nights review and quite a bit of discussion in
this thread
