I've been a very happy 12" Lightbridge owner for nearly 2 years now.
Yes, I have made all the improvements necessary (some personal, some essential) but..............I've enjoyed every minute of it, and the views?
OUTSTANDING!!
The reason for this prelude is that I don't want this to be construde as a Meade bashing excercise, it's more of a product warning.
On quite a few of the O/S's sites 16"LB owners are complaining that the trusses cannot be suffiently tightened to hold collimation.
The trusses are coming loose in their mounting after a short use.
I have never come across this on mine, once their done up the scope is as solid as a full tube unit.
Aussie owners of 16"Lb's have you come across this problem? Have you fixed it" How? Have you notified your dealer?
I would be interested in your replies.
As I said earlier, I DON'T WANT THIS TO DEGRADE INTO A MEADE BASHING THREAD.
Thanks, John.:thumbsup:
