Great telescope deal!

Hi friends,
This looks like a pretty good deal...

Can it be mounted on a CG-5?

Maybe for visual observing. Not for imaging though.

I don't think it's worth buying, there are too many modifications to do, first of all it will need a focuser, then a finder scope, something in the 12" bracket should suffice, a fan to cool the mirror down, a mount, dovetail bar and mounting rings, a large step ladder, it all adds up. Of course, not counting changing the car to a large truck to ship it to dark sky sites.

Nah, I think I'll pass, see if something else comes up.

Then again, it's wireless! Great for a permanent remote observatory

I am going to wait for the manufacturers (NASA I think they are) to bring out their next model the James Webb model its seems to be a bit better
