I am pondering along similar lines. Is a G11 really necessary for an AP F6 5" refractor though? Wouldn't an AP 400 or a Losmandy GM-8 mount be up to the task? ...

For visual use, the GM-8 would work fine with a AP 5" f/6 but for photography its always best to go with a larger mount. Time you add the dovetail plates,...
