That's what someone replied when I posted this problem on another forum and I am skeptical: I have a 12 inch LX90 with a 1.25 inch WO diagonal and a Borg fine ...
Hi Mike, They're somewhat correct. Your scope has a 3000-something focal length, and that's pretty long. Field of view is a function of focal length and the...
Hello Richard, I have a LX90 classic, which of course is 8 inch. My LX90 has given me hours of pleasure and I never regret getting it for a minute. However,...
Hi Im relatively new to the world of astrophtography and I have come up pagainst a small problem in attaching my ccd (Atik 16c), filter wheel to the back of...
Hi all, Hope you don't mind my question about the "EyeOpener", but would not the 1209 Microfocuser reduce the aperture back to less than 2" anyway?. As i have...
Nice pictures. I took quite a few but the wife disconnected the internet service so I was out for a week and now at the Tokyo airport checking up on emails....
Thanks Larry - Sorry - I missed your post till now. Ok I am using the 6.3 focal reducer and a meade DSI II C or II pro for imaging. I am autoguiding with a...

Before I even bother trying to set up polar-aligned (I only just got a superwedge), I'm experimenting with the DSI on terrestrial targets. The DSI has a very,...
The narrow field of view is pretty typical of CCD cameras. It makes the GOTO capabilities of the LX scopes very valuable. I just picked up a DSI too as part...
... It's been a little finicky as of late. ... I think I'm going to have to do that, too. I'll need to pick up an old-style 35mm, unless I can figure out a way...
Hi Tom I have been imaging for a few weeks now with my LX90 In Altz<AZ mode with a DSI-II C. The only focal reducer I have used was purchased for $49 OPT...
... That's probably the smart way to go. After all, I could find this too frustrating to be worth spending a lot! :c) I'm assuming you are talking about this...
Hi Tom, I had an Olympus OM-1, probably the best 35mm astrophotography camera ever. I didn't have any way of autoguiding (I was using a Meade LX-10 at the ...
Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted an image. I had some good conditions on Monday morning, the first good conditions for the Moon since last...
Hello everyone, I'm expecting to receive my LX90 tomorrow, it's my first scope. I live in a light polluted environment, but the country is mostly desert. I've...
Hi Ashraf, A hundred kilometers should be pretty good but two hundred would be better depending on the size of the city. Many times it depends on the humidity...
Hi Ed, It's nice to see another image to the usual standards from you, first class as norm. Bet it took some time to sort 1800 images down to 300 but well...
Wow, Ed, you never fail to amaze me with your precise lunar imaging. I still strive to achieve your level of detail. Best, Jim W. Coleman Port Orchard, WA ...
I'm puzzled... doesn't the LX90 only have the center bolt for mounting? The apxa page referenced by George shows both the standard wedge (big hole in middle of...
Hello, I've just unpacked and assembled my lx90. I followed the instructions.. Tripod was no problem, mounted the scope, started autostar. Removed rear dust...
Oops, forget the comment about the image, it's fine. My eye was not close enough. But the eyepiece is still loose. Maybe the thumbscrew is too small?...
George, Afraid I can't be any help with an adapter. I'm only now investigating a wedge for my 8". I know there are adapter plates for the standard wedge that...
Dick, Yeah, I just saw that. Makes me wonder if anyone is using a superwedge on an LX90, and if so, how they fasten it. Of course I'm still curious which type...
Yes it will work. You will also need an adapter plate (order separate for the LX 90 scopes). ... From: lx90@yahoogroups.com [mailto:lx90@yahoogroups.com] On...
... Hmmm. That is odd. Well, first of all, for the time being, not being able to secure the eyepiece is not going to prevent you from viewing. Second of all,...
