Interesting photos. Almost makes it look like the scope fell off the tripod!

The OTA looks OK .... be worth a look for a decent SCT.
Might end up being a good buy ...??
Start the ' bid ' going Morton ... put it on your 'watch list ' :D

The Celestar 8 was my first serious scope back in the '90s. It tracks in RA with just a 9V battery. Used it for wide field piggyback photographs of Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997. Good memories. :)
