First and last sn8" pics

Taken early last year I was very pleased at these first attempts with a
lxd 55 mount
sn8" scope
canon 300d
polar aligned only no guiding.The very next night I was carrying out the scope after polar aligning quite excited and tripped over my (Sooty) Black as the ace of spades cat.One dead sn8!
Broken corrector plate and scratched mirror, did'nt do me much good either but here goes. I put in a pic of Comet Mcnaught as well taken for the roof of my car in central Vic.
Cheers
John
