Miaplacidus:
The LX90 will be staying. Mine has performed extremely well in the fifteen months I have had it. I decided on it after originally looking at a 12" Dob and decided that the Meade would open up more of the night sky to begin with.
I still wanted a "light bucket" for DSOs and better planetary contrast, not too big and which could just be plonked down and start looking. Considered the Lightbridge but in the end Bintel's own scope was just too good to ignore . For me, the 10" is right whereas the 12" is just too big.
Even though the skies have been clear for the last two nights there is much upper atmosphere turbulence. The moon is "boiling" and Jupiter can't be resolved to any satisfactory degree so any objective assessment is out of the question. However, all this will pass.
Mick:
How are you managing with the physiotherapist's bills?
Mark.
