Description

I was given a Classic Celestron C8 (1982-1984 according to its serial number) and this was it's first light after spending 20+ years in storage. It was in excellent condition considering it's been in sitting in a trunk for so long. I did have to dissemble the corrector plate and clean it due to a dead fly on the inside, but the mirrors were gorgeous. Even the original Y mount it's on still works. Until I can get a better mount for it though it's stuck as a primarily visual scope. The image is a 3 photo pano as the Moon moved across the field of view, since it couldn't fit into one shot. Sony A6600 using a 1.25" visual back adapter, ISO 100, and 1/80s.
