I have a 10" Meade Starfinder I would like to upgrade to a go-to mount with remote PC control. I've been looking at the Orion Atlas EQ-G and the Celestron CG-5 and CGE. The EQ-G and CG-5 fit my budget right now, but should I wait a little longer and get the CGE?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Would the Orion Starshoot Deep Space Color Imager be a good choice for first time imaging? I am using a 10" Newtonian.
Any suggestions or observations would be greatly appreciated.
Burned out street lights to all.

I've been talking with one of the AM advertisers about buying his 16" Newtonian. He does not have the original packing materials. We are trying to figure out the best way to pack the mirror for shipment. It looks like a thorough cleaning would need to come first. What should the surface be covered with to protect it from packing materials? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Good seeing,
Rikki
