Finally decided on my scope but....

CGem 1100 or the 1100 DX. Not sure how portable the DX version is. I saw it at the International astronomy show and the tripod looked huge!

Also the DX seems more suited to the 11" tube. Anyone have the DX??

Thanks,

Matt

I have the C11 and a standard CGEM. You will need an extra counterweight but I find the mount is fine with this scope.

Thanks Laurie, i have decided to go with the CGEM after much thought.
