After all the fun I had this winter in St George, with my new Nexstar 8I, I decided to reopen my little rolling roof observatory in Salt Lake. Almost 15 years of disuse! The mice and spiders thought the place was all theirs. Everything was exactly as I had left it in June of 1988 with a few exceptions. One, the garbage bags I used to cover everything at the end of a session had completely disintegrated. I mean turned to dust...brown dust. Two, The mice had eaten most of my observing notes and skycharts. Three, the plastic caps that covered the visual back, the finderscope, and the polar alignment scope had shrunk and fallen out, exposing the lenses to a heavy layer of dust and in the case of the C-8, to a spider who crawled inside and spun a big old web. So, I'm looking for someone, hopefully local, experienced in C-8 repair or service to clean the scope. Any suggestions? Secondly, this scope was equipped with a Skysensor "computer". This was Celestron's earliest attempt at a "goto" system and worked fairly well except for a huge periodic error in the drive system that made astrophotography challenging. Anyhow, the Skysensor suffers from the Y2K bug in that it only allows a two digit input for the year. i.e., 1988 must be input as 88. Is there a corollary date that could be input that would cause it to operate at the proper 21st century sidereal time? Barney B.
