Congratulations on becoming an Aussie. Did you know that a stubbie holder makes a good dew-shield, ha ha.

Wow. I'd have to be drinking pretty big stubbies for the holder to double duty as a dew shield on my 9.25!

Actually, maybe a darwin stubbie holder would be better. I have a ETX 125 PE and am pretty happy with the views, although I've never looked through a scope other than mine( bought it in an impulsive moment, glad I did). What's the view through a C9.25 like, what type of optics?

The view is very nice, Brett. The optics are SCT.

If you want to know more about the 9.25 perhaps you could go through the Equipment forum?

This is a bit off topic

Thanks for the advice Matt, I'm new here and still have to learn all the protocols. Love to see you post some pictures taken with your 9.25", maybe start a thread where everyone posts a picture of the same object(eg. Saturn) with different scopes for a comparison of aperture vs image. I'm still learning the sky, so my ETX 125 shows me more than enough- but I'm sure aperture fever will get the better of me eventually.

Hi Brett.

I've posted many pics taken with my 9.25.

They are in the Solar System forum

OK - back on topic.
