Some things are ..... C90 wise .

Woaw ! some things are meant to be ,

About 20 years ago I sold a Celestron C90 that I got second hand from Cash Converters , they did not know what it was , I got it for a song back then .]

I actually did not like it as an astro scope , quite bad actually . so I sold it ,
Same dents and tape stuck all over thr OTA ,
.
But this scope excelled as a long range " Microscope " having a close focus of 1500mm , I will never forget watching a bumble bee cleaning pollen off its body on a wall 10 metres away at 50x , looked the size of a big dog at 1 metre .
I foolishly sold it , regretted it ever since !

Fast forward 20 years , I gragged this one for $63 delivered from here at IIS , THANKS MAN ( you know who you are ) . , and man its my old one !!! sweet .

Here she is tonight mounted on my EQ2 in AZ mode , awsome set up with my Mizar's .965 prisim diaginal and eyepieces , as the origonals are long gone , a 20mm ( 50x) and 9mm (111x) , ,,,,
