1st is with the 8" Celestron that I love.
2nd is with the 5" Celestron that I tolerate.
Tracking is much better with the lighter scope but I also did a better job of aligning it.
Single shots uncropped.

Oh so way past. I'm dragging.
;)
I want to go to my 8000' nook but the moons too far along.
I'll have to wait a couple of weeks.

You are getting a good start on Saturn. In 3 months we'll be about 90,000,000 miles closer.
1 min on Orion Nebula and all your Stars are nice points , way to go with the new mount.

Now that I have the polar scope I hope I can get the 8" to track this well.
I'll keep you posted.
If I can get the 8" tracking really well I'll start working on the 11".
