I've heard rumors that the Celestron 9.25 has a rather flat field (at least
as far as commercial SCT's go), which is good for astro imaging.  You'll
find it hard to get small star images at the corners of commercial
SCT...various aberrations, plus a very curved field.

Has anyone heard this rumor about the C 9.25 also?  (I don't have any hard
facts to back this up.)
