New Celestron Mounts

Does anybody know if the new mounts are more sturdy than the Meade mounts, and will actually support 30 lbs?

I think Celestron has made a brilliant move in offering the 9.25 on an inexpensive goto - should sell a zillion (a zillion and one including me)

Thanks

Hi, Gary.

It does look as though they have corrected the weakest link - the tripod. I've used the LXD55 with a fairly heavy 6" refractor on a good tripod and it did a pretty good job.
