Is the 400 beefier than a CG5? I understand its quality is a lot higher. How about compared to a GM-8? Some else had once suggested a GM-8 to me, on the AP...
Rob, For visual only, the AP 400 mount will do nicely with the 140. That's not an imaging setup though, but on a quiet night it could be used for imaging ...
