Hi all,

I am after the weight of the c9.25-S XLT OTA only!.

I have decided that this is the scope I am going to get (one day) on an EQ6 mount. And I am currently working out what I can load it up with. I already have an Orion ED80 listed.

Not sure if this is the right scope

20 pounds for both the carbon and aluminium.

20 lbs does sound a bit light for the 9.25...I thought it would be around 13-14KG's.

Maybe its the Carbon fibre model but doesn't say.

Looks like 20lbs is right.

Quote:

The rugged aluminum optical tube is only 22” long and weighs only 20 lbs., making it easy to transport and set up.

20lb is right. Checked all that out when looking to dress up my Gm-8

I have the 9.25 Carbon fiber with XLT. OTA weights just over 20lb.
