Pet peeve: 'unique' is a non-modifiable word, like 'pregnant'. Just as 'very pregnant' is incorrect, as a woman is either pregnant or not, so is 'very unique' incorrect. End pet peeve. For those times when the ground isn't level, try having a small collection of 1x4 blocks of wood so you can shim up the legs that are low. That's much easier in my experience than fiddly-ducking with those screws that hold the legs in. Thanks for the review...I'm going to upgrade my iOptron EQ45 but I'm not ready for an Astro-Physics Mach 2 GTO yet. The CEM series is quite intriguing!

The edge series are a rip off. For what a minimal say 5% improvement on edge star sharpness? AND the price of the -7 reducer for this is almost a quarter the price of a standard C925. Save your money folks, get the standard version. Celestron should have included these modifications anyway but their Chinese owners are greedy. Most serious deep sky imagers use a nice triplet apo for deep sky.

I have one of these sadly its in its case doing nothing. Edit: Consider yourself extremally lucky, I went though 2 scopes before they sent me one that was acceptable. First one was covered in what I would call metal shavings all over the mirror and corrector plate. The second actually had damage to the corrector. I'm not going to say who I purchased it from considering they took the time to get it right, took a bit to long actually. But all's well that ends well. I do mostly visual, but I bought it so I could have the option when I was ready to do astrophotography.. I have so many eyepieces, its just a trap most everyone go through in the hobby. But I must say one of my favorite eyepieces is the Explore Scientific 16mm, 24mm, and 34mm Eyepieces 68 Dec. I would be lying is I told you I did not love my Tele Vue 13mm Ethos. Expensive, but worth every penny. .

I am familiar with our local Caltech (California Institute of Technology) for astrophysics, but what is the full name of UBIC? What mount do you suggest for astrophotography with the Celestron 9.25-inch Edge telescope? Do you think the Skywatcher EQ6-R Pro German equatorial mount with a weight capacity up to 44 pounds wound work for deep sky astrophotography with the 9.25 Edge telescope, camera and guide scope?

Good questions! I go to UVIC which stands for university of Victoria! I do know people who use the EQ6-R pro with a 9.25 scope but it is pushing it when loaded with a camera and all the other accessories. I personally am really partial towards ioptron, they interface well with everything and are just a joy to use, the cem70 would be ideal in my mind

I just watched your unboxing video and then went to this one. I bought a used GEM45... kind of funny you went with iOptron as well. I went with iOptron so it'd be much easier to move it around, just as you say. I had a very hard time tracking the C9.25 with a guide scope. I finally went to an OAG and the tracking was perfect.

I do have some bobs knobs but I'm waiting until I actually need to collimate it before considering to add them on. I've been told it's easy to use them but one will need to collimate more often with them installed. Been using luminos eyepeices for a good while now, I love them, haven't noticed and CA but then again I'm not one for visual.

@@wetcoastastrophotography5283 Hi! Could you help me with this question please? I want to buy an Edge 8HD but some tell me that the best are triplet refractors. I really don't know, I'm interested in the Edge 8HD because of its great focal length and price. The refractors I've seen that have a similar focal length to the Edge 8HD are way too expensive. They tell me I'd better buy a 600mm refcator over an Edge 8HD. Could you give me your comments please? I still have the idea of going for an Edge 8HD but I would like to hear the point of view of an owner of this class of telescopes. Thank you! Clear skies!

@@elbagre71 hello! If it's your first telescope I would probably recommend a triplet. They're much easier to work with and tend to be optically faster most of the time. The edge systems are beautiful and a great addition to anyone's rig however the versitility of a solid 100ish mm (aperture) refractor along with its ease of use with the shorter focal length is hard to ignore

Great videos, b-roll and music. making a good video is harder than it looks. sweet, my EdgeHD 9.25 SCT just arrived!! along with a week long forecast of rain. I also have the iOptron CEM70 with tri-pier. I wanted to share this. The tension bolts on the tri-pier are a pain. I got this product on amazon "Rowiz Blue/Black Aluminum Alloy Bike Seat Clamp, M6 × 65mm Bicycle Binder Clamp Bolt Seat Post Quick Release, Pack of 10" - it is the quick release levers like on bike tires or seat posts. setup, adjustment, and breakdown are SO much faster - and the blue aluminum looks cool. I just substituted the for the bolts that came with the tri-pier. I did have to keep the teflon spacers in there to keep the right tension. totally worth it. I had to do this because one of the cylinder locks stripped out and would hold it. The quick release clamp doesn't require the threads to catch.

Well definitely have a video covering the basics! The problem is everyone has a different idea on what they would like to image and no one rig works for everything. The best I can recommend is to buy the best possible mount you can afford then use whatever money you have left to buy a decent Apochromatic refractor and camera. If you're not quite ready to spend money yet then just giving astrophotography a whirl with a camera on a tripod is more than doable too, you need to make sure you what the expectations are for smaller non tracking rigs are
