I bought it as a replacement for my old C8 to go with a C9.25 SCT, and I love it
I bought it as a replacement for my old C8 to go with a C9.25 SCT, and I love it. GoTo beats the old system, and I mainly bought this configuration because no component weighs over about 20 pounds, so I can handle it by myself at 75. The second counterweight included by Adorama is needed for the 9.25, because the first one is barely enough for the scope alone without any other gear in the business end. After a few tries, I could take it down and stow everything for storage or travel mostly...

Spectacular value for the price
The mount is rock solid. Finish quality is very high. The cell and focuser are metal. The GOTO system is the most advanced yet with loads of extra features for visual observations and CCD imaging. So far, three star alignments center my targets in a 32 or 24 mm eyepiece to, at least, the manual's claimed 10 arc minute accuracy. The optical tube has a 2-1/2 second damp time from a sharp tap despite the tube's great moment arm. Field weight is 75lbs assembled. Tube 19lbs., Mount 16lbs. Tripod 1...

Celestron Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD: truly the ultimate entry-level astroimaging package. This package combines the groundbreaking new Advanced VXmount with Celestron's best optics, the EdgeHD optical system. This setup offers the astroimager maximum versatility allowing up to 3 different f-stop configurations. Users can attach a camera to the rear of the telescope and shoot at f/10, or attach our 8-inchfocal reducer (coming soon) and shoot at f/7. Additionally, EdgeHD is Fastar/Hyperstar compatible, giving imagers the option to shoot at ultra-fast f/2. No matter which configuration you choose, EdgeHD technology gives you pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of the CCD sensor.
With an 8-inch optical tube and our portable Advanced VX mount, this setup can be easily transported and assembled by one person. You'll also have plenty of load capacity to attach your camera and other accessories. This setup is simple enough for a beginner to use, but can also provide years of enjoyment for sophisticated astroimagers.
About the Mount
The new Advanced VX mount was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. Now your smaller telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. You'll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than our previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease.
