While i haven't used the celestron mounts and software i do own a HEQ5 and it is very easy to setup and use as Alex and Peter have said. I use it with a SW 8" SCT and ED80, though not at same time, and it handles the SCT with ease. 2 star alignments are more than enough for visual with a few mins to get polar alignment pretty good. If you only ever wanted to stay with visual i'd look more at CG5 but even then i'd buy the HEQ5. For very similar cost the HEQ5 is much more capable at astrophotography. Skywatcher also have a 5 year warranty rather than 2 with Celestron.
