 I hope to get re-started soon back observing with my C8.

I think if you had a good quality lens meteor detection might be better with the camera, the lens I used had some
fall off quality at the edges, like binoculars.  But I did pick up a few bright meteors about -1 Geminids.  I never
put the variable lens to 10mm as I wanted a lot of sky in, plus being in the city did not help much.

 It is a good camera for lunar-solar-planetary work also.
