Description

After my Nexstar 8 Mount died, I de-forked my Celestron C8 (the original Nexstar 8, the OTA was permanently mounted to the fork), put it on a Baader c8 vixen Rail, and rebooted up my old Celestron Cg-5 AS-GT mount.   Right now their is some issues with the dec axis and go-to.  After a night of frustration messing around trying to solve the problem,  I realized I didn't need a go-to as long as the RA axis was running.  The scope tracked so well I could reduce my ROI to 1028X768 and get 160 FPS.   I pointed the scope towards mars since it was well past midnight and did a few subs.  I am super excited as this is my best Mars and you can see Olympus Mons at the bottom of the image.
