I dont think it is quite as simple as the Celestron one star alignment..havent tried in the field yet, but with the two star routine maybe you achieve greater accuracy in alignment-in which case, bargain! The CGEM here costs not 30 % but 50 % to 100% more depending on which retailer one gets a price from...pricing seems crazy to me makes it very hard to go beyond alignmaster + eqmod for the EQ6-assuming alignmaster works as advertised -------------------- ED 80 on a CG5 mount;ED 127 on EQ6; QHY8, 20 x 80 LW Obies;PST;10 inch GSO dob Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Sensible to "upgrade" from an EQ6 to an CGEM? seeker372011 10/17/09 10:13 PM Re: Sensible to "upgrade" from an EQ6 to an CGEM?
