Yes, I know (anyone want a CG5-GT mount?? ).
Jack had already sold his CG5-GT, if thats what you mean.
Hmm... transportation in OMO will be tricky.. still thinking of possible solution. Current idea is to convert a backpack (I got a unused big backpack) to a OTA bag and backpack it for transportation.
The 8"f/5 Newt is not only quite heavy, it is also bulky! I am not sure that you want to consider backpacking that long tube! Balancing that OTA with a full load (camera etc) even on a GPDX... hmmm, I suggest you try it out first before buying one, if you can.

Weixing, you're not going to backpack a 40" long 9.2" diameter tube. Trust me :-)
