Hi everyone,

I would be interesting in hearing people's opinions on the differences in optical quality of the larger SCT scopes: Meade LX200ACF 10" or Celestron EdgeHD 9.25 or 11".

I am considering purchasing one of these to mount on my Celestron CGEM. I will mainly use it for visual, but would also like to do some webcam astrophotography of the planets and maybe bright globulars/nebulae.

Which scope would be the better? Both are similar in weight but use different optical designs to achieve reduced coma and field flatness. Which one achieves the best result? In the USA, they are similarly priced so pricing is not my main concern.
