I really only use it for observing but sometimes at the end of observing I'll put a camera on and see if I can get lucky. At one stage I did look at equatorial platforms but they were pricey and I don't think I can make my own because I've got enough DIY projects that I'll probably never complete.
I have to admit though the views it gives are great, so I can only imagine what they're like through something larger like your old 18 inch.
