That's just crazy! I had no idea. I only have several years experience with an entry level setup (my old one) but I thought I knew more than I do. That's actually very cool. Thanks!

Because I do have a budget of around $2,500(US) I've decided to put the biggest chunk of it into a mount and not the scope itself. I fought with an entry level mount before and would like to not have to do that again.

I think I've decided on a Celestron CGEM. The mount itself goes for $1,500 before tax but I can get it bundled with a Celestron 8" SCT for right around $1900. The mount bundled with a 9.25 is another $500 and that wouldn't allow me to purchase all the other stuff that's needed.

Thanks for the feedback!
