A celestron C 8 makes a great scope with an AVX mount.
It's a 2000mm F 10 mm mirror lens

I was just telling my wife after I took these, I wished I still had my C8 HD. I still have the AVX mount, hoping some day to get another OTA. All I have right now is a 10" DOB, which isn't the best for AP.

Thanks Mike. While you're out traveling the west, come down to Lake Havasu for a visit.

Great capture, Alberio.

Thank You Earnest, I was happy it worked without a good telescope.

I'm in NJ and total cloud cover for event. Some sucker holes in clouds but seeing too poor

I feel your pain, the day before was overcast and was hoping for clear skies on the 7th.

Yeah, I saw that but didn't get a photo. Nicely done.

What? Did you misplace your camera? I guess there is a next time a few years from now.

Those are still good. My C14 was my favorite, but could not lift that one now.
