On your scope , I had one of these a while ago and I loved it . Great optics on a good mount , and yes the CG4/ EQ3 mount is the standard one , these are a good mount , based on the Vixen mount , a good chinese copy and easily up to holding your 102mm celestron .
Enjoy it as I did , mine , for years , the optics are that good .  .
On the pics , keep them small as IIS dont like them to big .  .

Cheers Brian, i am enjoying this scope. Having a good time learning all about whats involved with alignment. Last night around 11pm i was trying the drift align, found what i thought was a Star near the Eastern horizon. Quickly discovered it wasnt a Star but it was Saturn!!
To my delight. AND i could even see Titan, i was so happy this scope could pick it up. I discovered the scope also has a piggy back mount, even better for my canon 50mm f1.8
