Hi G_day,

The price you quoted for the C9.25 I assume is the carbon fibre version. I purchased the aluminimium OTA from Andrews ~9 months ago for <$2400. If you haven't already you may want to check the $ price for the 10 inch OTA that BINTEL have on there web-site is still current too. The price differential might not be so great after all.

While the C9.25 doesn't have a mirror lock. Hutech make a focus lock (~$50) that locks the manual focus and reduces mirror movement substantially. Works well in conjunction with an electric or secondary focusser.

cheers,
