I was told by VO that you could use the C925 on the SXW (25lbs max). I certainly believe that for visual but not completely sure for imaging. That was my reason for the SXD purchase so I could image with the SXD which runs about 33-35 lbs.
Funny thing Bowerman, I went the opposite direction from CGE to SXD/Atlas. I won't be using anything bigger than a 10" SCT so that was an easy decision for me. Set up and take down of the CGE night after night got really old so I sold it for something smaller. Would have been good for a permanent setup but just was not in the cards this time.
The polar adjustments on my CGE sample were not very good and I do know there are mods instructions out there but it was the weight of the mount that did me in. Maybe again, someday, with a permanent location, that could change.
The SXD is noisy regardless of the load. Sounds the same even when there is no scope on it at all. That was the story for my sample anyway.
