Took her out last night with my son to a local observatory. Got a chance to look through someone's 8" celestron. Holy crap, what a view. All I had was a fuzzy dot. I wanted to wait for Jupiter to rise above the trees or even the moon but my son was hungry and tired.
I definitely need new equipment. The guy with the celestron said the eye piece was high quality. I should have asked him if I could drop it into my scope for a few minutes to see the difference.

I'm still looking into a camera adapter for my telescope, but what I can tell you that I've learned since buying it, reflector telescopes need to have their mirrors collimated. If it's been sitting with temperature swings and getting bumped around, etc, the primary and secondary mirrors need to be adjusted. There are a few ways to do this using a cheap laser collimator or a eyepiece holder cap with small centered hole. Instructions can be found all over.
The eyepiece is also important. If it says for example, H20 or SR4.5, they're the cheap eyepiece. I bought a couple Sirius Plossl eyepieces, and there is a formula for determining which ones to get based on telescope dimensions.
Collimation and the eyepieces made a huge difference with my reflector scope.
