I have a celestron cpc goto, I have started finding the mount limiting me. I have got to the point where I find it irritating to be waiting for the mount to slew when changing between targets that are widely separated.

After a recent electronics problem (my son managed to cook an IC in the mount, but I got it going again) I am considering remounting my scope on the likes of a HEQ5 for the best of both worlds, get the scope properly polar aligned and I can slew manually in seconds then Lock the clutches and let the motor drive go again, if I want goto, do a star alignment and let the mount do all the work.
