I got on the list at the begining of the month, so I wonder how long before I get mine Is this what expecting Fathers feel like? You will have to post pics when you get it.

I ordered the CGEM with a 9.25 OTA on March 9th and it is due for delivery on 3-28. Does Astronomics provide Saturday delivery standard? Im excited to get my first GEM and the 9.25!

I have not been involved in Astronomy for years and I look forward to getting back with a great group of people and learning from everyone. This will be my only scope for a while so I hope it all works out well. Post Extras:       waassaabee Post Laureate Reged: 11/26/07 Loc: Central California Coast Re: CGEMs are shipping!!

[Re: waassaabee]       #3004947 - 03/25/09 11:00 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Last week Lisa, the wonderful Telescopes.com service rep, forwarded me an e-mail from their purchasing department indicating that they were expecting to ship a few by the first part of this week. Since I've been at the top of their list for a couple of months now, the first one will be coming to me when it does ship. Of course I've been on the road since last Friday and away from my home e-mail, so I don't know if it has or hasn't. I decided it'll just be a nice surprise to come home to if indeed it shipped this week. Of course, if so, I'll only have Saturday evening and Sunday to play with it before heading back out of town for another week on Monday! At least the weather forcast for the weekend shows two great days, if I'm awake enough after the trip to use 'em!

I've got clouds tonight, partly cloudy tomorrow night, then clear for Friday & Saturday (I bought Lotto tickets tonight...).

I checked the website yesterday and it is listed as in stock right now. John Post Extras:       waassaabee Post Laureate Reged: 11/26/07 Loc: Central California Coast Re: CGEMs are shipping!!

[Re: OpalescentNebula]       #3007319 - 03/27/09 07:53 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Glad you finally got yours....I have had mine for a bit and love it. Only real problems is the powder coating on the saddle is cheap. The paint is already coming off. I will be switching to an ADM saddle whenever Anthony finishes....so I am just ignoring the ugly chips. I have found goto's and tracking to be very good. Stability is ok with the C11. Probably 4-5 seconds dampening time. I do not use supression pads. Once I get a motorized focuser, I think I will have a winning combo.

Very solid and tight. What I mean by tight is that there's no slop like with the CG5. Now if I can just get everything working together... Q-Guider is giving me heartache again...
