It (my image) definitely looks smaller Rob
I'm wondering whether it's got to do with the cropping?
Clutching at straws here...
Maybe Celestron sent me a C8

DOH, DOH, DOH.... apologies Matt, I just realised that the image I posted was one take through my Mewlon 180, which is F12 so end result is F30 with the 2.5xpowermate instead of F25 as with the C9.25...
here's one with the 2.5x and C9.25, but it's nearly 3 weeks ago... it does still look slightly bigger than yours - how much has joop shrunk in that time?

No John
It wasn't cropped. Rather left all out there in the big black open making it look smaller than images which are cropped a little tighter and therefore the image looks bigger coz the planet's occupying more of the finished frame.
Just speculatin'
