Celestron CGE GEM Mount Review

[philj]

This is on my web site but folks here may find it useful. Its a review of the mount I did this year after 4 years of use. It cropped up in another thread so thought others might want a look or find it useful if planning on buying one of these superb mounts.

Yes, a good honest review Phil.

As with almost everything we buy, nothing is perfect!

One would think though, that "specialist" manufacturers of "specialist" equipement would either have the knowledge (based on their manufacturing history, and their technical expertise), and the "market awareness" to ask their prospective customers what their needs were - then go all out to make a piece of equipement which is as near perfect for its intended use as possible.

As we all know, good Astro equipement is not cheap!

Best wishes,
