Dave, Do you have the dovetail plate for your C9.25"? I'd like to put it on my Losmandy GM-8 mount sometime when I'm up in Utah County. I went to the Anacortes website and looked at some of the reviews on the 9.25". It said that the GM-8 mount would be okay for visual but for astro-photography, it requires the bigger G11 mount. It also said to dump the diagonal and finder. It really needs a TeleVue Everbright diagonal or an Astro-Physics MaxBright to get the full potential of that scope. I have the Everbright diagonal but I need the SCT 2" adapter from TeleVue so I can use most of my eyepieces on my 8"SCT. I'd really like to take a look through your scope on planets and DSO's. If you want to get together and try my mount, let me know. It would be interesting to see how that scope performs on my mount. Clear Skies, Debbie
