Imaging with a Super C8 Plus

Hi,

I've owned a Super C8 Plus for about 17 years. I was thinking of trying to do some imaging with this telescope. The optics are rated at 1/10th wave according to my certificate. The optics are in great condition.
I have the following questions.

Will I be able to get some decent images with this telescope once I learn how to focus?

What other issues do I have to deal with with a SCT?

Would it be better to buy a motorized focuser to ease the pain of focusing?

I don't think the mirror shift is too bad but is this an issue?

Thanks,

Debbie
