My new set-up...

I know, I know... is not a Takahashi, but is a good start :)

Very cool. You're gonna be imaging with that rig or just observing? Looks pretty neat and tidy. :thumbsup:

[slippo74]

Well, I wish to do both.
I need to install the Eq wedge, then I believe I should be ready to move further steps in astrophoto.

Got a mate who got a LX90 on a wedge guiding with PHD and a canon DSLR. He can do 10min + exposures no sweat so you'll be ok to go with the wedge no worries. :)

Nothing wrong with that set-up I'm sure you will have many enjoyable nights.

Oh yeah Leon... just back from a quick test.
I bought the Skywatcher Pro 80ED today, never expecting such results.
Really good contrast and I got the perfect focus easy than ever.
500$ well spent.

Really happy!

Now you need another one as a counterweight on the other side of the Meade !

[slippo74]

I did put an handmade counterweight.
I'll buy something better.

The LX90/LX200 drives are prone to burn out unless well counterweighted. I recommend the attached type of counterweights for this configuration.

nice little rig cheif.! just make sure when you put the legs down, to put the feet onto the pavers! will make for a much sturdier platform!

[slippo74]

Hi Eric,

I'll buy the Losmandy counterweitgh Sat from Bintel. That should be perfect.




Yes buddy, I'll do! :) Tnx
