Here is a 12.5" F/8 Newt i built back in 1990. Sorry, but this is a pic of a pic.  Here are a few older Orange Celestron SCT's i had back around 1998. C5, C10, C11 and a C14.

Never did get into astrophoto work other than some afocal shots of the moon with 35mm film. I spent most of my time viewing planets. Nothing like seeing jupiter or saturn at 1100x on a nite of 9+ seeing with a 14.5" or bigger scope.
