I just wanted to add that Stellarium runs natively under linux, I just saw it on a friends computer for the first time yesterday. Another potentially...
... Hmmm, what you're describing (above) sounds like the LXD-750 and LXD-650 mounts, essentially an LX200 "Classic" with a GEM head instead of a fork. There's...

It has been a number of years, but it seems like there may have been a LXD600/700 series mount that preceeded LXD650/750, and I am not sure if the SSC line...
... Hi, Ike. Yes, the LXD600/700 corresponded to the original 12 volt LX200 and the LXD650/750 corresponded to the updated 18V version. I doubt that the SSC...
Thank you guys for all your good answers, recommendations and links; it is a great group! I have now a lot of information to analyze that will help me to ...
Hello Gabriel, How far up the equator do you live. I live at 10N and I found that most mounts will NOT polar align at my location without a low latitude...
... 100 pounds assembled, sure, but most GEM mounts can be "broken down" into manageable and separately carryable pieces: tripod, head, weights, and OTA. No...
Well that clears it up- last year Buck Harley donated his Meade 7" ED refractor to a public observatory I run. The box for the mount says LXD700, but it's a ...
... Interesting! Buck emailed me (in June 2003) that photo of the LXD-750's control panel I posted earlier. Anyone heard from Buck recently? He used to be...
... That's good, because after I sent that message I realized that I've never actually looked for an "LXD750" label on the mount, but the manual is for a 750,...
<<< Regarding the mount, obviously a 6000$ mount is better than a CGE or EQ6 but you can find some opinions in other groups that prefer (and inclusively they...
... ED refractor ... but it's a ... Hi, John. My LXD750 came directly from Meade in a 700 box also. Like the Classics, Meade was doing the upgrade at no charge...
Hi Rod! Thanx for setting me straight on the terminology! Hey - Great book! That was one of my Christmas presents last year. It helped me a lot. Are you...
Hello Chris, I am at +10.28 degrees as you. The G11 is better mount than the CGE? I know that an options with and without goto is available. The low latitude...
Hi to all, Is it the Orion 11" exactly the same C11 aluminum OTA? Are thay all Fastar compatible? or an special version should be ordered? Thanks for your...
... They say it is made in the USA by Celestron, so its probably the same. The picture doesn't show Fastar and it isn't mentioned so I would doubt that it is. ...
Michael, CPC 925 and CPC 1100 have not yet been released. The 1100 is slated to be out "any day" but the first scopes will go to filling preorders. Have not...
... Hi: Yes, no , and yes. The Orions are standard C11 OTAs. However... Standard C11s are no longer Fastar compatible. I do believe you can get one with a ...
Might also be a visual back that isn't collimated also. Wouldn't take much of an error in the wall angle of the visual back to alter the collimation. A...

Hi Celestron quit supplying the C11s as Fastar compatible some time back. You have to special order the Fastar scopes now. So, the answer is no, none of the...
