Well I have only just taken delivery of my CR 150 HD today and am looking forward to some clear skies, not only because I am from Australia, I havent seen the northern hemispere skies for many years, but as I couldnt work for 11 months, my 10 Meade had to go, but am exited with the C150, from all the reviews and especially the price.I really dont care about the mount, they are simple modification
