Alex deserves all the credit for the cleanup of the C8. He researched how to do it and provided the elbow grease to do so.
To allow me to use the scope he loaned me a diagonal, several eyepieces, the correct power cable as well as a tripod.
The scope is a 'BEAUTY". Like Alex said in an earlier post the views of Saturn were outstanding. I used a second hand $14 logitec webcam to photograph and video the Moon and was very impressed with the tracking and the images. The motor is silent.
I didn't get to use it at a dark site, only used it in the inner city of Sydney but it was a lot of fun.
I'd like to publicly thank Poita for allowing me the opportunity and Alex for all his assistance that made it a most enjoyable experience.
