SCT C8 unboxing

[YKSE]

My new scope has arrived! exactly on the day, very good Telescope-Service

It comes in a very well packad box, no visual damage outside, a good sign.

Inside the box, the parts are well protected with plastic bubbles (I've taken out other protecting foams, boxes in the follow picture):

Baader Aspheric 31mm (As my wide field EP), Classic Otho 10mm(replacing the stock 25SP to complete my BCO serie), 2" visual back, stock 1.25 diagnal.

Baader Aspheric 31mm with its accessories

TS 8x50 RACI finder (replacing the stock 6x30) and the dew shield

And finally the orange OTA in its own box and foam. ORANGE? Yes, I know it's not the usual color for C8 OTA, but this color is 100€ saving

It looks like I may have some clear nights to enjoy it too

Very nice

Orange is the classic colour I associate with Celestron SCT's. Back in the 1980's they were all that colour.

Congrats on your new scope orange is indeed the proper colour for a C8 nowadays the orange ones are the ones for the 8SE and the others are black, optically they're the same but the location of the dovetail is all that is different (well, and the black ones come with an optical finder scope)

I remember when i opened my C11 - nothing better, enjoy.

Congrats. It brings back good memories of my 8se unboxing.

It makes the saving even sweeter

I thought you were going to say you *PAID EXTRA* to have the orange! Result

Hope the skies hold out for you.
