I pretty much did the same to the CGEM-DX by replacing the stock saddle with the ADM dual saddle.  Nice to have the ability to change between mounting plates if the need arises.  I mostly use the D-style plates anyway, but there have been a few times when it's been very handy to have around.

The mount is a Celestron CGEM-DX with the ADM upgrades that I got in 2012. I hypertuned the mount in July '22 and the improvement in performance was worth the effort and expense.  As long as the motors hold up, I'll keep using it.  Now that I know how to service the mount I'll be more inclined to perform the service on a routine basis.

One of my favourite stars.  I’ve always loved the distinct colours. 

I really like this one.  Nice rendition!

I like this rendition.  I’ll be going after this string again next year.

The Summer Milky Way rising as steam from the "teapot" in Sagittarius over a lake in Northern Ontario.  The stars are all trailed due to the 2 minute exposure.  The chairs on the dock were briefly illuminated using a red flashlight.

That's me, David, getting the observatory ready for a clear night.
