Cpc 925 Gps Xlt Goto

[IanL]

Folks thanks again for the advice on the EQ6 mount. This has led me to looking at something i can just plunk down and hopefully have fully goto. I was also going for another scope as well and i know that C9:25 xlt gets a great write up. What i am thinking is killing two birds with one stone. and going for the 9:25 GPS XLT GOTO.

Does anyone have this type of system. I know that scope is good but wish to find out how good the mount is and would it also be any good for astro shots as well.

I do eyeball astronomy but also dabble not to good in the astrophotography side of this as well.

Cheers
Ian

Hi Ian.

I have the 9.25 XLT OTA on EQ6 with SynScan (Goto) and it's a great outfit.

Don't know a great deal about the CPC range but imagine the fork mount presents a challenge as far as long exposures and field rotation is concerned:shrug:

I'm sure it would be fine on planets, but DSO might be trickier.

Also, how does it go pointing up at zenith? How's the clearance with the mount?

Sorry I can't be of more help.
