C9’25

[recceranger]

Have taken ownership of a new C9’25 from FLO. Managed to get it set up just the other night during a rare break in cloud cover. Conducted a star test for collimation and was delighted to find it was absolutely perfect straight out of the box. Not much viewing though as the clouds rolled in.

My plan will be to use it with the ZWO ASI462 MC on a bit of lunar and also using the Nikon D7500 on tight DSO. Reports to follow!

Set up is now fairly diverse. Wide field using the ED80, as mentioned above using C9’25 and some nightscape using the D7500 on the Star Adventure Pro 2i. Not forgetting of course the simple pleasure of visual observation (if we get a clear night!😅)

Congrats on that 9.25, a scope with a stellar reputation (no pun intended) 🤣

I never seen one in the flesh but I'd always imagined C9.25s to be smaller than that for some reason.

It’s a Power Oak Pete. Will run you Mount, laptop and ancillaries for around 4 to 5 full imaging sessions. That’s with each session lasting around 6 - 8 hours. Great piece of kit

It looks slimmer compared to the other SCTs, but appearances deceive.

I feel that this is the maximum size for a one man SCT, the bigger sizes practically require two people to mount and unmount safely.
