I'm looking to get a sturdier equatorial mount for my 5" Celestron
Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope.  It is currently on a Celestron CG-3 mount, which
I find less solid than I would like.  I'm considering a Celestron CG-5 mount,
which has a street price (new) of about $300.  Does anyone have experience (good
or bad) with the CG-5 or can suggest any other equatorial mounts (~$500 or
less)?

Regards,
Eric
