Made a pass through our local Goodwill store and ran across a bargain.
A Meade ETX 70, controller, eyepieces (low end Meade), and a Barlow, all in the hard case, for $20 (+ tax).
Put batteries in it, took it out and it functions, optics are clear (normal coatings not the UHD).
I have better scopes but could not pass up a 'Bargain'
Took a disassembled M12 lens with an IR filter, stuck it in the SJCAM M20, set it on the eyepiece port and snapped a couple pics.
The 350mm focal length it really too much for the small pixels in the M20 and would be better suited to a few mega pixel 1/2" sensor.
Even the Mobius MAXI would likely do better than the M20. Have to go dig up my scope stuff and play some more.
Did I mention it only cost me $20
