The AC mounts use drive correctors (RA=AC and DEC=DC), the DC mounts have either external or internal controllers for the different drive rates. Nothing is compatible between the 2 series. For the Super C8/C8+ either a Celestron, Vogel Digitrak, or a Geiseler Accutrack dual axis c...
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...
years ago under C6 and C8 telescopes. The Super Polaris was a good mount for its time, but the CG-4 is better in every way. The heavy-duty steel tripod, for one thing, is a big improvement over the wooden surveyor's type tripod that came with the Super Polaris mount. ...
Cigarette plug and red/white light are super handy, too.I tested it at 0 degrees C session for 8 full hours, it supplied both the Evo mount and dew heater strips for C8 tube , Nexstar controller and diagonal at the same time. After 8 hours battery was down only one half of its ...
PowerStar 8: the successor to the Super C8 and Super C8+ line with a more advanced drive. I think some (all?) of these have to have the hand controller to operate properly, but I could be wrong. https://www.astromar...erstar-iii-sold ...
I'm not certain how to answer your question except to say that theClassic 8was introduced well after [introduction of] either "Super C8" model. I recall theClassicas being anadditional choice, to a lower price point and not a replacement of a model. ...
"SPC8", is that an C8 on a SuperPolaris EQ mount, or something? The SP mounts I've seen came with a simple 4-axis slow motion controller, with a speed switch for slow/medium/fast (where 'fast' was like 4X siderial), but that panel looks like a early full GOTO system, it migh...

They obviously redid these scopes from the previous versions that were built like tanks. For example the 8" LX65 ACF OTA is now listed as lighter than a C8 and it doesn't have a mirror lock like the older 8" ACF. I'm really wondering what else changed if anything. ...
