Recently saw an offer for a celestron cgx goto mount for about 600 euros

As i wanted to upgrade my mount anyway
(currently a skywatcher star adventurer 2i with an askar phq80 on top) i was wondering if its something i should concider, even though the max payload is a bit overkill

if it's in good shape sure, the mount costs over 2k brand new

#

and how the hell are you using a phq80 on a 2i?

Cgx's are extremely unreliable

#

They are plagues with issues

#

And silly design oversights

#

Id be careful

#

It's entirely possible they are getting rid of it because something is wrong with it

#

I've seen more QC issues over anything though

Mmh that's good to know, I had no idea about the cgx's issues
