hi, I have just joined Ice in Space.
I bought a new C 9.25 CPC last week.
I was surprised by just how heavy it is and it is a bit awkward to fit into my car/s.
I am fitting a sliding counter-weight system to the OTA to counter balance the various heavy eyepieces and 2 inch diagonal that I use in it. I have a Nagler 13 and 20 plus a TeleVue 32 and 40.
I also own a C8 NexStar and a home-built 381 mm Dob, fitted with Stellar Cat go-to and an Argo Navis DTC.
The CPC is for club field nights when I am too lazy to set up/tear-down the Dob or when I am not modifying it to improve its performance.
