Celestron 9.25" GPS vs Celestron 11" GPS

Posted By Allen Oliphant

I want to upgrade from my current 8" SCT and can't make up my mind whether to go with the 9.25" GPS or 11" GPS. I've heard that the optics on the 9.25 can't be beat, but the extra light gathering of the 11 is tempting. I will use this scope for visual now, maybe someday CCD imaging. I am leaning toward the 9.25 if it will give a significant boost in performance over the 8". I've also heard the 9.25 performs better when the seeing is poor. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
