Just wondering if anyone has any hands on use with these scopes and new mounts?
http://www.celestron.com/c3/category.php?CatID=93
I have a 8 inch Tube with a GT CG5 mount which I think is a complete PITA to get it aligned for proper tracking and long term exposure. Listening to the guys on the site I am most interested in this new CGE mount which supposedly makes it much easier to take images with longer exposure times.
More about the mounts here:

Click on videos on the page above and the new mount is shown in great detail.
Anyway would love any replies from people who have used this new mount or scope.
The CG5 mount I have takes so long to calibrate properly it just turns me off using it. Couple that with the terrible weather in Ireland :) It's a recipe for disaster!
