Celestron’s Biggest EVOLUTION: The 9.25” Review! 

This type of telescope 🔭 doesn't need colimating! I've had mine since 2014 and it still functions like i just unboxed it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FOhqKV08r8M.htmlsi=ugnMARK7y1xinc3u

Thank you so much! :)

Enjoy it! It’s a wonderful telescope and the views will be great with decent seeing conditions. :)

😮I fitted the nFocus remote from Rigel - bracket on both C8 and C9.25 uses same controller. Works well

@@MaximumAstronomy I recently got a StarSense Evolution DX 130AZ as a gift. I was wondering if I could use this motorized stand for the DX130AZ? Is there any other motorized stand that would work. Thanks for the great videos.

@@CaptCaveman7570 Since your tube has a dovetail, you can get a SLT, SE, Evolution, various Skywatcher, iOptron, etc branded mounts that accept that vixen dovetail and make it a goto. You can search eBay for used gear and built a little goto rig for sure! Your tube is relatively lightweight, so they all will handle the weight just fine

Hi there! Yes you are correct in some of your thoughts there. It is close to the max so I wouldn’t personally use this for more than planetary imaging since the camera weighs very little. But if you want to adventure into deep sky astrophotography then you can always take the OTA and use it on a different mount like I do. That’s the simplest way to utilize the EVO and get to use it for deep sky imaging too. But if you really like the EVO and want to stay with that platform and do EAA, I would suggest just downgrading to the 8” model. That’ll give you PLENTY of wiggle room with the weight for accessories and such and not worry about pushing the limits. The weight of the C925 does make it a little shaky, especially at higher power magnification. So take that into consideration. The 8” is more stable. I personally use the EVO for visual and outreach, but when I want to do any serious imaging, I take the OTA and put it on my Atlas Pro or AM5

Oh, 😮I don’t like the sound of that - just sent my (used) one back (above) and they want $546 to replace the board… what were your symptoms? Are they warranted?

@@randallpatrickc It was doing random jerking motions when slewing (fast and sudden and loud movement). Like there was a drop and surge in current causing one motor (first was the az head (TWICE) and then the alt head). The second burnout on the az head, it was a complete failure and the mount was a brick, they re-built. all was under warranty. I now personally think is a design flaw in the circuit board.

@@AaronDavila1 how long ago was the last burnout? (How long is their warranty?)

@randallpatrickc August is the last burnout and went to celestron for repair. They sent it back to me and it was still doing the jerking motion so it went back in November. Waiting for it to come back. The warranty is for the original purchase for 2 years.

How unfortunate guys! I've had no issues with mine since 2014 when i purchased it. It's 9 years old and still works like it's brand new 📡🔭🔬ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EgwXqjhxAUQ.htmlsi=D-YDII75fFuZ9SGz

In my experience with this scope, low power is fine but you are pushing the limit of an EVO. Especially with accessories you will get to the 25lb capacity quick. It is quite a bit unstable at higher power but it’s manageable. Id go for the dual fork but it is so much more flexible being one arm.
