The C9.25 is a fine scope to look through. I am very happy with mine! It may be a little heavy for taking photos with a CG-5 mount though. If you want to do more visual, its a good option. If you want to image, try a smaller scope with that particular mount would be my recommendation.
I went down the same path as you, and tried to find a scope that could do it all. They don't quite exist though. My C9.25 is on a CGEM mount (the next size up from what you are looking at). It is a jack of all, master of none approach. I would think you might consider the 8" SCT if you have a CG-5 and want to image.
