Edge HD 8" or 9.25"

[Dunkster]

 sorry Zakalwe, must have had my wine glasses on 

I'd still go with the Edge 8 for visual over the standard SCT if you can, stars at the edge are nice and point-like as in the centre, and the vents help a bit with cool down whereas I used to find the standard C8 would take about 2x longer than the C6 to cool down in the UK (which doesn't take long itself if you put it outside while you setup). For me I don't find cool down a problem, I just look at lower magnification targets in the meantime

Yes I think I will, as the price difference between normal SCT and Edge at the 8" in size was only about £200.

Thanks.
