So, last evening I tested out my 8" scope mount that had an alt-motor replaced as it was not working and now the scope works as new. I tested it out on M78 the Casper the Ghost nebula and star clusters along with it. Nice to get my scope working again.

Nice! Iā€™m also imaging M78. Which 8" OTA are you using?

I have a Celestron CX8 with a NexStarSE mount. I used my iPhone 12 with NightCap app ($2.99) to image.
