I just picked up an old Celestron Comet Catcher for a bargain price. The front of the corrector needed cleaning, but that’s all I really had to do. Collimation seems pretty decent right out of the shipping box.
Night time views will have to wait, but daytime views with the supplied 26mm silver top plossl is
quite impressive. This is much nicer than I expected. I coupled my full frame camera, and just aimed out the back door towards the woods, and took the attached image.
I can’t wait to try this out on the stars.
