Thanks Graham

Did you mean DSO objects (deep sky objects)? Or did you mean imaging with a Meade DSI camera?

If you intend imaging DSO then the GSO seems to be giving good results.

If lunar and planets the C9.25 would be better. SCTs have a brighter centre spot for planets but are soft away from the centre of the image. Star sizes gecome large off centre.
