I changed over from a Meade 12" Lx200 to Celestron. Initially the C9.25 which I found fitted well with the HEQ5pro mount.
More recently I've gone for a C11 on a NEQ6pro mount for spectroscopy.
Just de-fork the C9.25 OTA, fit a dovetail and put it on a HEQ5pro mount - a marriage made in heaven.

Lol, this will really get me in trouble with my wife!
I already have a dovetail bar on it, I fitted it ages ago to allow me to add a counterweight as the weight of my wifes DSLR was enough to cause tracking issues. The bar is the narrow Losmandy one, I was looking at it last night and evaluating it for supporting the OTA!
