They are a fantastic mount!!

I would recommend anyone even looking to upgrade from binos to get a goto mount! even if all you have on the top is the binos!!

In the few hours I have used the mount I have learnt so much! lots of star names since I didnt know many of them and had to look them up to align the mount, then as soon as I got it up and running I saw loads of things!! :)

I must try sort out a permanent mount, I have dreams of using the 'Last Alignment' function... :P

MAJOR panic when I did this. Doesn't seemed to have caused any problems though.

I know what you mean I've had a great time learning my trade with the CGE mount. The time just came to upgrade to a bigger mount for doing my asteroid work and S/N work.. You will have many years of joy with this mount.
