[aaronkmk]

Hey all..
Firstly just wanted to say hi.
Ordered my first scope hopefully it will be here tomorrow... can't wait..
Has anyone else used this scope?? I would love to hear your thoughts and criticisms..
What can I expect to see with this scope?? Is there any accessories that you would recommend..

Thanks Aaron

Welcome! I have a Celestron 8SE -- it's a great multi-purpose scope, for both planetary and DSOs. I have... Ummm.. LOTS of accessories!

You're on an EQ mount, so you could take longer subs than me!

The C8 must be the best selling scope of all time! Congrats on your new scope, hope you enjoy it :)
