Hi Pat,
Thanks for the enquiry, yes its still for sale.
Payload - 65lbs, but personal experience has found 50lbs to be ideal maximum for imaging. for Visual use 65Lbs (or a C14 + DSLR) is fine.
PEC - Yes with PEMpro and the Celestron PECtool. 4-5 runs (8mins each) smooths out PEC. Usually drops to around 6.
Full GOTO - Yes indeed! 40,000 objects and very accurate as long as you put the right time zone into the handcontroller! Also interfaces to starrynight pro, the sky and Tpoint.
Pictures - I need to post some, but theres a few on
www.astronomypix.com/equipment. failing that I'll post some tomorrow or friday.
also, the only reason I'm selling is due to an upgrade and I can't afford to keep both. I wanted to keep the CGE as my portable mount, but sadly it must be sold.
thanks again
terry
