Scope Window Mount

Noise levels from a Celestron CG-5 mount?
So i’m thinking of buying a new telescope in the coming months but need to have a few questions answered about mounts.
First off the main telescope i’ve got in mind is a C8-NGT. My question is really how noisy is the CG-5 mount in general? and when using the C8-N? I live in a very quiet built up area so noise levels are going to be a big consideration (I like my neighbours afterall lol). Will my neighbours be able to hear the scope slewing? They’ll have their windows open some nights so…..
Plus is there anything I can do about those noise levels? I imagine some sort of foam insulation will help.
Same questions go for the Nexstar 6 SE
Thanks
It’s not as bad as the infamous Meade LX-200s for noise.
Planning on doing astrophotography? If not, consider that an Orion xt10i dob is cheaper, fits in any car, has a push-to computer that lasts months on a 9 volt battery, sets up in under 3 minutes, and has a bigger aperture.
Not all scopes are ideal for everyone – otherwise everyone would buy the same optimal scope.
But some people say you should get a big dob for observing, and a little tiny scope for photography. For photography, the mount is everything. And a good mount for a small scope is much cheaper than a good mount for a big scope. You can always take a longer exposure. And focal ratio is everything for how long your exposures are – not aperture. This is counter-intuitive.
I’ve spec’ed out my ideal scope for photography. It’s $9,000 of stuff. I don’t have $9k, so for now, i’m just observing.
