You can astroimage with a cg5 mount, especially if you strip and regrease it. However you will almost certainly find it frustrating and I wouldn't put anything bigger than a short lightweight 6" on it. The frustration factor has resulted in me ordering a Losmandy so that I can stop buggerising around with inferior mounts. Remember that the three most important things in astroimaging are the mount, the mount and the mount.
