Well I came home to find 2 large boxes from First light optics had arrived.
This is my new Cgem which I am looking forward to learning how to use.
I have never had a GE mount before and am sure they are a bit more tricky to use then the more familiar Alt/Azi mount I have been use too.

Will let you know how I get on with it. Plenty of rain forecast for the next few days, so will give me a chance to read up on it....:)

Nice one DS, they are a little tricky at first, but you'll get used to it :) It's a greta feeling to have some new gear unopened

Excellent! You should have some fun with that mount.It should be a decent portable photographic mount. Do post some pickies of your new set up.

Thanks guys.
I think my first initial concern is space to store it.
I don't have an actual place to put it!!
It's a heavy piece of kit to be lugging around. Which way do you guys store yours?
Have to be careful with this baby..:)

Yeah, space can be an issue alright, I store my similar CGE mount inside near my porch door, with just enough room to get it out :) They are heavy though, make sure you do not have far to carry it, as it can really take a lot out of you!
