Slewing area of CGX RASA 11

[mickscott7366]

Can anyone help with the slewing area required for the  Celestron CGX 1100 Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph  I have a telescope working area of 1.2mtrs depth x 1.7mtrs width which my Celestron SE8 is currently set up in in my observatory but wanting to upgrade to the RASA 11. I have tried for days searching the internet for the overall area required.

I know the width of 1.7mtrs will not be a problem but desperate to find out if the 1.2mtr depth will be sufficient to operate comfortably before I invest in a new set up!

 

Cheers

I don't have exactly this kit, but was using a C11 Hyperstar on CGEM-DX until a few days ago (now on a CGE Pro): I think you'll find it too tight, particularly with a dew shield in place - my roughly 6'x6' area has a couple of "slew carefully" points to avoid hitting the south wall.
