Vixen GP
These are very good mounts. I used one underneath a TV-85, an Orion 102mm f/9 Flourite and an Astro-Physics StarFire 102. The GP handled them all, though I needed a 2nd counterweights for the 102s. I don't think much of the drives & controllers. They come with almost useless power packs and they're really only good for fine slewing. If you want anything more than thata, then invest in a SkySensor computer. That combination would make a pretty good mount. Another excellent enhancement is the Universal Astronomics tripod that came with my GP. I moved to a larger mount and sold my GP, but I kept the tripod.

When compared directly to the chinaclone CG-5 it's a pure 10!!!

Think by yourself!
