Ls-8 sct uht acf
Hi guys,
I purchased a LS-8 two years ago and can honestly say this is a great little scope as a second "grab & go" scope. The optics are brilliant but there have been some software issues with the earlier versions and had to reload a few times. Autostar III updates are currently at version 1.6a. The scope is portable and easy to set up. My 3k budget was well spent, now I'm looking for larger apertures having built a few Coulter Optical dob. scopes in my time - LX200 10" or 12" is where I'm heading. I would always try & keep the LS as a second backup scope, the scope talks to you while you are observing and if you're with friends, all the questions the may have re answered without having to look up stats. The 3.5inch LCD monitor is a bit of a distraction if not set to night mode but shows all the necessary data. A good portable camping scope.
