Clive - the CG-11 was discontinued in late 90's afaik. Somewhere around 1998~1999 I believe. So yes, the mount and scope are fairly old.. however if you were to get it for 4k, keep the dome, you could probably get 4k for the scope/mount/pier... I've sent the guy a message reguarding splitting it all up.. he says he's had many people interested in just the dome, and just the scope.. etc... Said he'll contact me with reguards to the mount should he decide to split...
Kerrie - You can just turn tracking off, unlock the axis of the mount and hunt around, although it can be a right pain to especially with the angles that your eyepiece can end up with a newtonian... Best Idea would be to build yourself a Dobsonian base, and get the EQ6.. that way when you want to observe you can hunt around for things quickly and easily with the Dob, and then mount in on the EQ6 when its photography time
