I got lucky. After unpacking and test-assembling the new scope I had a quick look outside. CLEAR SKY! unbelievable!
So I took the scope outside and had a quick look through it. I was amazed. Sooo much better than the previous smaller one.
I didn’t play with the GoTo yet, Just pointed it at the Moon and Jupiter manually and unpowered.
Here’s a few pictures taken quickly through the eyepiece with my digital camera handheld:
The Moon:
And Jupiter with 2 of its moons:
