The LX200GPS might be slightly more accurate, but that's at a level that would only be needed if you're doing CCD, which often has a very small field of view....
I agree. as owning both the LX 200 12" Classic and the LX200 GPS 12" the LX200 Classic is more reliable, as the fact the GPS is fairly new and not really...

It would be remiss to not remind you that the LX 90 with tripod included in now on sale from Meade and is offered at a terrific price. In my opinion, the LX...
... As usual Dr. Clay is right. I purchased an ETX 125 a year ago and by the time I acquired a tripod, Autostar, barlow etc. I was up to $1500. The LX 90...
This is all true, but if you add the cost of the UHTC coatings to the LX90, your just shy of the cost of the LX200GPS with all it's bells and whistles. I think...
Like the Doc says the LX-90 is a great. I myself just got a new ETX-125EC UHTC and love it. What I like is that I can pick it up with one arm and haul it...
my budget was about the $2000 range, an 8" lx200. i heavily weighed that option, but with all of those bells and whistles, though, i figured that i could...

Hi, Does meade sell their OTAs without a mount? I am looking for an 8" f6.3 SCT, just the OTA. Can you find those new, or am I going to have to look on the...
Hi Tom, Yes Meade OTA's are available alone. There is normally a little wait for them as they are usually handled as special orders. Thank you. Ray York ...
... JOE Joe, if portability is your major concern, then the ETX scopes are well in the picture. I own a 105 myself & it's a good little scope. When we start...
I Found an old 2120 SCT at a garage sale But the coatings on the corrector plate are failing. I called Meade and they no longer will strip and recoat the...

I ended up getting a used F/10 instead... Does anyone know why it was discontinued? Celestron claims they never made one, because the design is 'impractical'...
They were introduced when CCD first became popular, and for the small chips a 6.3 made sense. But the CO is bigger and as chip size increased and focal ...
