OK.....last question regarding this thread.....Sorry


Comparing the Meade LX200 series to the Celestron advanced series C-9 1/4 SGT with the CG-5 mount...plus the GPS ad on.

1)What are the benifits over these 2 different mounts?

2)Wouldn't the EQ mount be better then having additional cost for a wedge in the Meade or celestron Nexstar GPS Range?

3)Potability should be easier then the fork mount?

4)For the same dollars would you consider the C-11" SGT with the GPS ad on to the Meade LX200 10".

Celestron C-11 SGT

Celestron C-9 1/4 SGT

Meade LX200 8" 10"

I know their both great scopes...and I am prefering the Meade at this stage but the Celestron advance series has caught my eye and then I can also purchase localy.

I am mainly intersted in comments about the mounts....

Positive and negative feedback welcome.
