Right. You could use any of the ones labeled for the "primary port" of the LX200 classic, but you don't need a long cable, so the shortest would probably be...
Looks like a great location based on the CSC, Michael! The finish on the scope will slow down the transfer of moisture into or out of the wood, but it will not...
Hi, Rick asked me to mention this..... I just updated the in-stock page to show that Rick has a 16.5" FX telescope ready to deliver. The 1.25"-thick mirror...
Hello, I have the GOTO on my 14.5 scope. I have not taken it out before in below freezing temperatures but will this Saturday. It's suppose to be clear and 14...
