There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the

Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be
brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the
heavens.

Replying to the original poster, I'm not sure, but perhaps Orion
telescopes has the equipment you need, if you don't want to try building
your own, not quite a trivial task given that the C8 has the eyepiece
holder at the bottom of the tube, precluding a Dobson-like mount. And I
don't know of any alt-azimuth mount sold that is large enough, but
others can comment on that.

Item 07376 is probably large enough. As for the mount, it'll have to
carry the weight of the scope, and I'm not familiar enough with the C8
to guess it's weight, but mount 09822 might be heavy enough.

How old is it? Is it on a fork? Does it have a wedge?
If it has a fork and a base, any STABLE platform will do, that's why
forks are so fantastic.
