The CGEM 1100 came with a 40mm I believe, but the 9.25 came with a 25mm. I have a Bintel 40mm plossl, but haven't tried it yet in the 9.25. I have been usually using a 32mm TV plossl (great!) or a Celestron 15mm Axiom. For Saturn I have tried an older 12.5mm Celestron plossl and (for fun!) a 4.8mm Nagler. 4.8mm with a f/10 is really pushing it!!! I got the 4.8mm years ago for use on the moon with the 10" dob.
I would consider the 2" diagonal in the future. If anyone has tried it - let us know how it goes!
I haven't found the viewing awkward, provided I extend the legs of the tripod a bit.
I hope CGEM users get more active in imaging - I think we all want to see the results!! It will be another 12 months before my budget allows for a decent camera though...
