The 9.25" excels at lunar and planetary imaging for which you generally need pretty high magnifications. If you are planning DSO imaging then I think that the experts will say that it isn't  the best choice of telescope due to its long focal length and that something along the lines of a quality 80mm refractor would be preferable. One of each would cover most bases.
