After much deliberation I have decided, reluctantly, to sell my LX200 setup. It is not getting used as often as it should and I need the cash.
Carefully maintained, and stored in a clean and well ventilated space, everything on the list below is in first class working order.
The LX200R was the precursor of the LX200ACF and was described by Meade as 'Advanced Ritchey-Chretien'. A year or two after it was introduced, Meade changed the tag to ACF, but retained the quality of the optics. Hence, to own an R is to be a member of a small group.
The bundle will enable the owners to undertake both visual and astro photography (assuming they have their own camera). It will not be broken up in the first instance, but I may consider selling items separately depending on interest from buyers.
