Hi Shoelevy,
long time no see. U should not give up all those great equipments just bcos it is too bulky. Yes u should sell away the c8 and mount the c5 on a manfrotto tripod. It is lighter and portable. No point buying so many fine instrument and giving up after spending so much money. :idea:

You don't need to go outside to observe, why don't you set up your C8 and CG5 mount permanently in your balcony?
Use this to move the whole setup easily:

hm....cos by doing that the scope is exposed to weathering elements ?
i keep it in the dry cabinet to keep it from free effects of moisture u see
so i guess mounting it permanently isn't an option
besides...my balcony?....see nothing of the sky
haah
