What mount for Celestron 9.25


 

I’m looking to buy a Celestron 9.25 edge for my multi purpose scope. ?Just getting back into the hobby, and my interest are visual observation of lunar, planetary and DSO.?

I am interested in possibly getting into imaging further down the road and want to make a wise investment in my mount choice. ?I don’t want to go any bigger scope wise, maybe a refractor or two.
?
Looking at the second hand market right now and there’s some nice g811s out there that are within my price range. ?I know the g8 was designed for the C8 and the g11 for C11, which leaves the 9.25 in the middle.
?
If a g11 came up in the price I was looking for, the choice would be easy, but will the g811 be enough for the 9.25 when it comes to both visual and imaging?

I keep getting conflicting opinions about whether this will be a good combo or not, and of course I could alway put the g11 dec on later down the road.
?
thanks for any advice


 

I use a GM811 works great for C9.25 for imaging.Visual as well.....


 

I too have the G811 for my 9.25 Edge HD, along with a ZWO ASI2600, EAF and? OAG, as well as the surprisingly heavy Celestron reducer.? The G811 handles it all with no issues whatsoever.

IIRC the 9.25 weighs about 25# and should be fine for visual on the GM-8. As I mentioned last week the Celestron G-9 model was a 9.25 on a GM-8 with a G11 dovetail saddle.
