Yeah,AND I just HAPPEN to be in the market for a CGE...
BUT I found a BARELY used one with all kinds of Accys(Cassidy weights and saddles,GPS etc) for less than that!!
BUT I came THIS close to buying one from OPT(I even started to enter my CC numbers) but then I heard "You got Mail" and,well now I am just waiting for the deal to finalize...
This really is THE BEST deal on a NEW,GREAT,GOOD LOOKING, AP/Visual mount...period.
CGE is one heck of a mount

The CGE OPT is discounting is apparently the older model. Looking through my latest S & T and Astronomy issues, now Celestron is advertising the CGE Pro, with a sort of "open architecture" design. Much improved of course. It must be the Pro that is backordered.

The CGE Pro is NOT a replacement for the CGE. It is a considerably higher weight class mount (90 lbs) and costs 66% more than a CGE. There were rumors (possibly started by OPT with a statement on their website) that Celestron had discontinued the CGE, but other dealers indicate that's not the case. Right now, however, Celestron is having a heck of a time with their deliveries. Note too that OPT's price isn't QUITE as good as it sounds, since most other dealers still listing the standard $3k are providing free shipping (when/if Celestron sends them something to ship!).
