Hi all,
I have recently buyed end restored an Classic Orange C-8; cleaning the tripod, cleaned the optics and lubricated the focusing system. After collimating the optics showed very sharp views of the Moon, Saturn and deepsky objects.
I have compared this 1979 model side by side with 2 C-8 Ultima. This Classical Celestron with "special coatings" gives more contrasty views on the planets!
