[APML]: CG-11 vs Meade 12

[Robert Horton <RPH@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU>]

I'm considering purchasing either a CG-11 or a Meade LX200 12", and would
like to hear from others about their likes and dislikes for either system.

I would be using this scope mostly for astrophotography, and I'm currently
leaning towards the CG-11 because I like the feature of removing the OTA
and replacing it with, say, a 5" APO.

I would like to know just how sturdy each system is, the ease of set up
(I must transport the scope each time I want to use it), and the quality
of the astrophoto's you've been getting.

Also, if you know of any sites on the web were photos are posted using
either of these telescopes, please let me know.
