Re: Newbie...late starter...Jupiter!
Hi Lotsafruit, care to share which bino you're using. intent to get one but don't know which to get.
If Jupiter can be see clearly with a bino than my life will be easy. Don't have to move the telescope around so much.

First attempt imaging moon on webcam
First try on moon using a webcam. funny thing is that why by just using the webcam the result it just like a 10mm EP with 2x barlow. basically I can't get the whole moon [smilie=confused.gif] Any advice, please. Thanks http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g469/bernbern51/Capture4_9_201212_26_11AM.jpg...

Re: Telescopes upgrade headache
One more thing to add - a C9.25 + CGEM mount won't fit in a regular car boot. So unless you have an SUV, MPV, or hatchback, transporting that thing will be a big headache. I basically carry the scopes in the back seat and the mounts in the trunk. I noticed that your previous scope was an Astromaste...

Re: Telescopes upgrade headache
Ya 114 not easy to use due to shaking. So best bet will be C8 with CG5 mount.
At least I don't have to carry like hell just to view our dark sky and save almost 2k.

Re: Telescopes upgrade headache
The C9.25 & C8 I saw came with CG5 mount (astro scientific)
So the matching set will be C8 with CG5 mount? And almost 10kg diff in weight.

Re: Telescopes upgrade headache
thanks, ok i'll drop the CPC series model.
thot the advanced series come together with the mount? do I still need to upgrade the mount again? If say C8 & C9.25 not much diff in viewing than I'll just go for C8 cos the price diff by almost 2k.
btw, is this scope good?

TIA
