Hey Mac I would like your opinion and any one else who would like to chime in. I have a CPC 1100 HD Edge on a wedge and buggy wheels. I have been thinking to defork it and put it on a Celestron CGEM II mount because it is getting to heavy, or should I sell it and purchase a newer one that’s already on a CGEM II mount?. What do you think?

[@mackmurdoc1029]

Thanks OPT for all that you do!
