Thanks for the added info Ray.
I didn't realise the rest of the image train would be so finicky on this ota also.
Id be using a self modified 900NC for planetary and my Nikon DSLR for DSO initially. Maybe a dedicated astro imager down the track (have to sneak it in under the handbrakes radar
)
Looks like the C9.25 might be a better (hair saving) scope.
Hopefully I find nothing wrong with it when I finally get to test it.
I was looking at the hyperstar setups, a bit $$y, but definitely something to consider down the track
I actually thought, if I do get the C9.25, I'd sell the CG5 it comes with, and with the proceeds look at a used fast 80mm APO or ACRO for my widefield stuff.
Still thinking...
