Astronomics is listing new goto GEM mounted SCTs from Celestron with "street" prices as follows:
8" $3,499.00
9.25" $3,799.00
11" $4,149.00
14" $5,799.00
but no other details or pictures, except the line "You've been asking Celestron for a complete selection of their top of the line Schmidt Cassegrains mounted on a beefy computerized German Equatorial mount, well ask and you shall receive...".
Anyone know anything about these scopes? There must be about $2600 mount in there...
The NexStar 14 (not yet available) and the CM1400 are both still listed, so the new scopes are not those.
Astronomics is also listing the CI-700 mount at $1295.00, so it would appear to be on the way out...could be an attractive mount at that price.
