How many of you have or have had an 8" SCT OTA mounted on a CG-5 mount?
How was it for viewing? Aside from the aluminum tripod, was the mount stable for a scope this large?
I'm going to redo the support for my CG-5 clone (either a pier or a more robust tripod made of wood) and I might mount my 8" SCT OTA to it, but I wanted to get some input from those of you who have mounted that large of a scope on it and what your feelings were about the use that way.
