Welcome. You're in good company here. Lots of old gear heads who have found an inexpensive and satisfying way to vent our creative skills.

Have fun, ride safe.

Wow 4 Stroker, Im into Astronomy and fly rc planes and helicopters also. I have a Celestron C-11 on an Atlas EQ-G and a Coronado PST H -Alpha solar scope as my main telescopes. I also do astrophotography but Im not too good at it, heres a pic of M-51 i did.... the white point is severely clipped from my bogus image processing.

Nice picture, hang in there W.B. it will get better.

Lets see... I have a 7" Mead mak I also use this for whit light solar.

A 102mm Stellarview for hydrogen alpha solar and easy night viewing.

A 12" Dob for deep sky.

I have stayed away from photography with the exception of a few afocal attempts.

To be honest I have not done much observing since I bought the sailboat.

Regards
