My first setup was working OK for me. I had a Celestron 11 inch HD scope a Hyperstar, Atik camera and a Celestron CGEM mount. I was getting images that I thought were wonderful and was overall very happy. The one major pain point I had was set up time and accuracy of the mount using was not always a fast fun experience. I found the CGEM mount overall worked well but there were some things that frustrated me which I will not go into here. I also wanted to do more advanced imagery… namely Satellites and Comets and I wanted it to be as easy as possible of course.

Review of the Parallax Instruments HD-250C GE Mount... I talked with Joe at Parallax Instruments about my requirements. He uses Byer's gears in the mounts and I knew right off this would be a big plus. Joe was working on a new mount to fit between the monster sized observatory
