Bit of a bargain

This seems like a good deal as the OTA on its own is around £1450 - £1500.

That does look like good value though I think it is seriously under mounted. An owner on here felt it was OK for visual use but I must say that I'd want more mount than that.

Your'e probably right for AP but ok for visual ? Still seems a lot of scope for £1500.

I bought a similar C11 / CG5 combination back in 2007 - it too was cheaper than buying the C11 alone.

The CG5 was sold on without ever coming out of the box and the C11 was (is) mounted on my EQ6.

Hmm Intreresting , How much would a second hand but unused CG5 fetch ? By the way hi Mike , long time no speak.
