...On Friday! Probably won't get here on time, that's the way things usually work!

Suggestions on what to do the first night out (if clear). I'm in Central Alabama!

Clear in Alabam? Ha!

Seriously, my advice is that if you have not used the go-to CG5 before, setup inside first and do a few fake alignments to get familiar with the scope. Other than that, just set her up, sight Polaris through the polar bore, do a two star alignment, add at least two calibration stars, and prepare to be amazed at how well this mount can do.
