Hello!  I am still telescope shopping.  I was looking over the Celestron
fliers, and was wondering what, other than the obvious movement of the
observing position and the need to adjust the counterweight, is the
downside (if any) of the Super Polaris version of the Celestron C8?
Is the mounting stable?  Is it suitable for long-exposure photography?
Is the drive mechanism clean?  Thanks!
