C10-NGT thinking about selling and getting ??

Hello,

I am relatively new to the site.

I have a C10-NGT, due to a recent accident I have only been able to use it about 4 times. (Heavy scope + mount is an issue)

I was thinking about selling the 10" OTA and getting a lower weight OTA (Such as the C8-A OTA) and keeping the CG-5 mount. Overall it would still be a good combo, but the combined weight is still high.

The question is:

Am I better off selling the complete C10 + Mount and getting one of the Nexstar SE kits (Nextar 6SE or 8SE), lower weight and very simple to setup, but not as good on specs. (Happy for comments on other brands)

This is all in the aim of some viewing with my kids and astro photography with a Canon 400D.

Any thoughts?
