I'm looking to upgrade from my classic C8 that I use for astrophotography to a 9.25" or C11. I have squeezed about as much planet detail out of my C8 that I can and I'm looking for more aperture. I have read reviews that say the 9.25 is designed just for astrophotography, but I see a lot of them for sale after the owners have purchased a larger scope. What ever I wind up with will be mounted on a CG-5 advanced Go-To. Any thoughts on the matter?

The C11 will be fine for planetary work on the C11 and will deliver substantially more than the 9.25.
