I am building a roll-off-roof observatory for my Celestron CPC 11" telescope (Pocatello, ID). I will be pouring the foundation for it in the next month. So now I need to decide what kind of pier and mount I want for it. I'm leaning towards a GEM pier from astropier.com and a GEM mount. I've heard that the gears in the fork mount of my Celestron are not that great, particularly if I want to do more than 3min. exposures. So I'm leaning away from doing a wedge. Any thoughts?
