I would seriously warn anyone against buying this mount. You would be far better of with a Vixen SXD or even a GM8 with ArgoNavis.. And I doubt very much that the CGEM will outperform an EQ6 mount. So an EQ6 is also an excellent price performance alternative. Especially when your starting out in Shorter FL DSO imaging or Long FL Planet imaging. I wish William optics would bring back the GT-1 mount, that is another fantastic used mount option.

The Australian importer has for far to long gone unchallenged. But I would say to people dont buy Celestron unless your importing it when the dollar rate is higher. Or better buy used or 2nd hand from the US or Canda when dolar rate is higher.

Vote with your wallet, if they don't get any sales the will get the message.
