Need help on Celestron 9.25 SCT

Posted By Mark Van Tiem
I have been thinking of purchasing the C 9.25 SCT I read the review on Cloudy Nights for the C9.25 SCT. The part that is holding me back from purchasing a C9.25 is the statement that the auther made (But on soso nights I don't bother with the C9.25 at all as the 120mm blows it out of the water).Now my qustion is what kind or performace will the C9.25 do on the average night? I would appreciate any input you have.
I live Just outside of Milwaukee WI my skys are at best Mag 4 and must of the time they are Mag 2. I would like to use the C9.25 mostly form my backyard.

Posted By Mark Van Tiem
I am looking for some recommendations for a new night vision flashlight I currently have a Celestron nine volt two red LED flashlight all though it does work well I just don’t like the adjustable switch. I find it hard to turn the on / off switch on the flashlight and impossible to do with glove on. I would appreciate any insight you have on this subject.

False color with a TV-85 scope

Posted By Mark Van Tiem
My question is at what magnification do you start to see false with a well collimated TV 85 scope on bright star like Vega.
