Now I remember why...

....I stopped using my Celestron C8 about 10 years ago, it takes an age
to set up and get working. Storage seems to have taken its toll on it
too, only the RA motor drive is working right and one of the
connectors on the position sensors has a missing pin.

Now how do I persuade my wife that a LX90 is the next most important
purchase?
