Could anyone tell me the outside diameter of a Celestron 9.25" SCT OTA. I have one coming and am considering making an adapter saddle for an LX200 10" fork mount to mount it on. I just want to make sure it will fit without having to alter (cut) the existing trunions.
Thanks

I don't have an exact measurement, but I believe it is 12". I measured when i was looking for a case and this was what i used, so it's not far off.

I just measured mine (grey tube model with starbright coatings, a couple years old) at a little over 10.5" To be more precise, the front and rear sections where the radius blocks mount to have an outer diameter of 268mm / 10.55 inches. I recently traded for this scope on astromart and have been very impressed with the optics and minimal mirror shift in this unit.
