Not the best conditions but i recently cleaned the c925 and wanted to collimate. The moon was out and took the opportunity to take a few test shots. These are taken with a celestron 2.5x barlow and a 178 mono at bin 2 with a 642 ir pass filter.

Looks good to me. Slight high frequency noise. But  thats just processing.  Looks like the scope is performing as a collimated scope should. 

Theres ways of controlling that noise. Just a case of finding your technique that you like. For example more frames wavelet 2 gaussian registax. topaz denoise frequency domain image analyzer.  Mild gaussian blur ect. Lovely detail coming through. just fine tuning on the processing is all thats needed.
