That's a great color on the Tasco. Out of curiosity, what are the metal plates on the objective side of the clamshell for?

I was going to ask something similar: "You need to set the polar axis to 0° latitude, since you live at the equator."

If a 23 year old scope qualifies......here is a photo of my AstroPhysics Star12ED on a new Celestron AVX mount.

For a report on how they function together, see this -

Here is a picture on me about 45 years (and pounds) ago with my Sears 60mm EQ with electric drive motor. Sorry to say I no longer have this scope but it was good enough to keep me interested. I watched comet Bennett in 1970 with it.

The Cave 12.5" f/7 Model D Transportable Observatory relegated to the back of the garage to make room for a couch my daughter "handed up" to us. It needed to go in the other garage until I build a place to put it at Cosmic Acres
