In my observing conditions I place a higher priority on cooling so I chose the C8 Edge. Visually both provide pleasing views (once cooled) with the C9.25 having less outer field aberrations than the 8" and 11" standard SCT's, though the outer field is better again in the Edge scopes.
I have the AVX mount and like it a lot. It's sturdy having the heavier duty tripod, it's not heavy to move, next to no backlash and the setup and alignment is very easy.

Hi Tony thank for the advice mate yeah I like the idea of the cooling vents and the other benefits of the edge I think your right that the images are only slightly brighter in comparison also I think the 8 would be better for imaging with the smaller FL but I'm only assuming of course I'm certainly no expert.
Thank for the review on the mount it gives me more confidence in the purchase.
Thank again Brad
