[C14] C14 OTA question


 

Good evening Ralph:

I can only answer the question regarding the trunk as I have the CI-700
mount and did not purchase my C-14 from Anacortes. The trunk has dimensions
of 36" x 20" x 22" (l x w x h).

I currently own a CG-11 with an immaculate G11 mount. I have been
getting some aperature fever and have been considering selling my C11
OTA and purchasing a new C14 OTA.
Can anyone tell me if the c14 OTA would be pushing the limits on the
G11? I'll mount a Telrad on top with 2" nagler eyepieces and
2" diagonal off the back.
How much more shake or vibration would I see. I currently have no
noticible vibration what so ever and my scope seems increadly sharp
and solid.
Finally, can someone tell me the dementions of the trunk the C14 OTA
comes in, since storage is always an issue.
Would buying the OTA from Anacortes or similar places be ok or is it
wise to go thru company 7 and let them fully test out the OTA first
hand?

I can not comment on the stability of the mount, as I don't own a C-14 or a G-11.? Although I am saving my pennies for a C-14.? Anyway, unless you know how to optically test? a scope, it is my opinion that you should go through Company 7.? That way, even if you pay more for the tube, you know you are getting the best quality you can possibly get out of Celestron for that particular model of scope.
?
However, I believe S&S Optika test their scopes also and don't charge for the service.
