I have used the C14-G11 combo for a couple of years. The G11 with
the C14 is very good visually, and very portable, but is difficult
for CCD work. I have had some good resuts with it in Fastar mode at
f2.1. It is also OK using a 3.3 reducer. But even then you need
very still wind conditions. I have not had good results at longer
focal lengths. Also, I have heard comments that the stepper motors
introduce minute vibrations that reduce CCD resolution.
