Serial # 856157 C8 Powerstar, but the manual says Super C8 or C8+, so I'm not actually sure which it is. I don't have the original paperwork with me but it was purchased in 1990 at American Science Center in Chicago. I noticed another C8 with very close serial purchased at the sam...
It is good to hear that your C8 arrived safe and sound - I always worry about the corrector plate if the crate is dropped. Based on the serial number of 822954 I would guess it was made around 1984. If you look into the recesses where the motors are mounted in the base you may be...
However, it appears at some time in 1979 the serial number pattern changed yet again to 8xxxxx where 8 indicated a C8 and xxxxx being a sequential number (C5s using 5xxxxx) and eventually moving to 9xxxxx when the sequential number reached 99999. These later pattern numbers are difficult to...

Celestron has used three (or more?) formats of serial numbers. At some point in 1972, the serial numbers took on a QxxxxY format, where Q represents the yearly quarter in which the C8 was produced, xxxx is a sequential number -- presumably beginning with the start of C8 production --...
There appears to be only one C8 using the previous system ending in a 9 (serial# 1 444 9 ). It has an unknown assembly or purchase date other than it's motors (2/79), so that probably means it was one of the last numbered that way. Incidently my March 1979 C8 also has motors ...
I'm new in this group. I found it, when I searched for C8 Serialnumbers. I bought a used one last Saturday. It was nearly unused, the previous owner told me he hadn't used it for more than thirteen years. It was sold on Dezember the 20th in 1996, in Hamburg, Germany. ...
