Or even better, a permanent roll-off-roof observatory.

Never lift what you can roll.

Of course, it helps having a private home with a garage on a half acre or
more under reasonable skies.

Be sure that your back can handle the G11 before you buy it. I use a GM8
with my C9.25 because the G11 is just to damn heavy.

Hey Unka-Bob...

Try a G-11 first. The 925 on the G-11 is like a rock, and it can handle
a C11 too.

9.25, EQ mount. Those CPC mounts are like---like---hell, they're like
puttin' an automatic transmission in a pickup truck.
It just ain't raht, heah?
The EQ mount will do it all visually. If you want to stick a Digital
SLR in that 9.25" scope some day, I think you'll find it easier with
the EQ mount. No field rotation issues, some periodic error, but
managable. There are worse choices at any rate.
I tossed my synta mount and upgraded to Losmandy GM8. Now I want to
upgrade to AP. ;-)
Welcome to the hobby. What's in YOUR wallet?
