New Advanced Series CG5 mount

Posted By Gerald Kuchera
My budget doesn't allow for high end GOTO mounts. Does anyone have any experience with the new CG-5 computerized mounts with the 2" diameter legs?

Is the quality control seem good? If not, any suggestions for a quality mount in the same price range?

Anyone with experience with the new Celestron Advanced Series CG5 mount?
I've been informed it's been improved with ball bearings and 2" tubular steel legs. Can't afford the expensive mounts. Experiences anyone??

Looking for a reasonably priced GEM and Celestron's new Advanced Series CG-5 mount looked good.

Thank you everyone who submitted ideas and individual solutions to my newbe question of how to safely find the sun to put in the scope's field of view. To everyone, I'm grateful for this forum. You've been helpful with this and other questions.

Thanks again!
Clear skies, even during the day! :-)

celstron x-cel experience?

Posted By Gerald Kuchera
Anyone have x-cel lenses? Are they a nice series? I wear glasses and am attracted by the great eye relief advertised.
