Dan,
I know that Celestron has made some improvements on the CI mounts but I still do not believe it is good enough for a scope the size of the C14. ?When I was purchasing my C14 I spoke with a lot of people, including dealers. ?They said that at a minimum I would want at least a G11 as it was a beefier version of the CI that Losmandy makes. ?I am glad I did. ?I can say that visually the G11 works great. ?However, I can also say that the C14 with accessories is pushing the limit of the mount and in this configuration CCD might be tough. ?In fact a perfect setup would be at least an AP900 if I could afford it. ?I strongly encourage you to look around, ask people, and see for yourself. ?There would be nothing worse than buying the CI and then being unhappy with it and having to move up anyway.
