C8 donation

I donated my old orange Celestron-8 to my son's high school today! My son's
physics teacher is a good guy and i think the scope will be well taken care
of. I bought the scope directly from Celestron in 1979 but haven't used it
at all for a few years now. I felt a little sentimental at the very end.
I've had that scope since i was 24. Over half my life! ;-)
