Meade Starfinder 8" f/6.3

---

First light on July 21, 1996

Operational until August 31, 1998 

This was my first telescope and was in service for 2 years which feed my passion for imaging. After many tweaks and upgrades, I sold it and still miss it.

I did a lot of imaging during those years, and wanted to start taking longer exposures with much better tracking.
