hey guys
I ended up buying a neq6. sorry to waste everyones time with the g11 talk, it just didn't work out in the end. The hard availability and the pricetag in combo together worked against it. I probably will get a losmandy or tak mount down the track but will do it when I feel the eq6 is limiting me or making things hard.
The CGEM prices have gone up to $2800'ish so bugger that - the eq6 was $1895.
I haven't picked it up yet, bintel are drilling a couple of holes in a losmandy plate so I can have a camera & a refractor on a twin dovetail setup. I'm interested to see how my 200 f/2 goes when pointed up.
Now I need to decide over the next couple of days if I should just get a cheap rubbish scope to guide through, or get something quite decent to image through as well (i.e. tak 60mm or the tmb 80mm I tried to get). The choice of the "bigger refractor" i.e. a fsq-85 or 106 or something similar I'll leave for a month or two whilst I get this setup working.
