Robert_T and Ausastronomer,
Thanks
I am going to Andrews tomorrow morning (day off work). A nice 3.5 hour driev to go get the 9.25.
I wont be getting the carbon fibre one i dont think but the generl package deal with CG5 goto etc.
I'll start off with this mount and spend the rest of my cash on descent eye pieces and possibly a cooled CCD (anyone wanna donate an SBIG?).
I reckon that the light weight of a cooled CCD will make up for the weight factor of the heavier non-carbon fibre tube.
Anyways,
In time i'll no doubt upgrade the mount, probably to a G11 when I win the lottery.
Cant wait to get the scope, hope it all works ok!
Thanks everyone,
It has really made a difference getting all your input and I feel I can trust Andrews based on all the good feedback in the group here.
Ill let you know how I go, hopefully with some pics too!
cheers
Spearo
