Thank you for all your posts.
The ideal would be that the shop takes back the scope. From my dialogue with the shop, I cannot see that happening.
I know this is a good scope, so I am reluctant to be rid of it. I am wondering about cost implications for replacing the forks with equatorial forks - perhaps unfeasible from a cost/practicality angle but I will make some calls today.
I am happy to hear some reports of good results using an equatorial wedge with an LX90, although it is making my decision process more difficult.
I met with a very knowledgeable and helpful amateur astromer last week who had owned an LX90 with an equatorial wedge. Although he was very keen on the scope, from an astro imaging stand point, he had found the set up frustrating. His advice was to start with a good equatorial mount - a mount that is strong enough to take a variety of scopes, start off with a refractor scope and build up as/when I have built up my imaging knowledge and skills. Seems like good advice, a shame the shop was not so helpful.
