Meade 10" LX600 Review
I really appreciated the review. I currently have an 8" OTA from a 2009 LX200 GPS model that I now use on a skywatcher AZEQ6 mount (original fork damaged in accident) and I've been looking at upgrading to a 10", so your review is most timely and as you commented there is not many credible reviews around.
Not having a lot of experience it's also difficult to separate the manufacturers claims on the one hand and some of the negative comments I hear about Meade, or any other brand, from people for whatever reason.
I don't have a permanent facility so a bit disappointed to hear you don't think it would be suitable for constant set up and breakdown.
I was pretty happy with alt az mode on my LX200 prior to accident , even getting my feet wet with 30 sec photos using a low end Meade DSI camera with no auto guider. I struggle with getting even 30 secs with EQ mode (no auto guider , I know ...) , so the Autostar system I would appreciate.
I like the idea of being able to separate the OTA from the fork, that has to make transport easier. That's was always the hardest part for me to move easily.
Your positive review has me thinking of saving up for one. not sure if I should thank you or not . (^_^)
Regards,
Gareth.
