I bought the scope (plus a few eyepieces etc.) second hand. The piggyback camera is for auto alignment, I recently bought that new :tu:

Thank you!

I haven't used the scope much due to a lack of free time. But it's quite suitable for deep sky objects as well as planets, the moon, etc.
I'm hoping to catch a glimpse of this guy tonight. I'm not sure if that's possible due to its magnitude.

Good luck with that one, it seems like a difficult object.

True. I probably won't be able to see it. A friend with the 9.25" version of the same telescope could see it without any problem though.
It's not dark enough in my backyard.

By the way, I just noticed there's a second telescope visible in the picture. Whoever spots it (first) wins a SAK of my choosing. To be sent after the coronavirus crisis.
