Why not go Dob hehehe......

I used an LX90 at a star party we had, not a bad little scope, optical wise. The loud motors are a turn off for me, but thats me, I like quiet viewing, or close enough to quiet as I can get. The Focusing took a bit to get used to in, out a bit, oops too far, a bit more in, then back, ahh thats it (is this normal?). I am guessing some bob knobs would be handy or a zeroshift focuser (do they make em for the LX90?) The mount looked okay for the scope, the GOTO's were more or less spot on, within the field of a 26mm plossl anyway.

Personally I would got EQ6 with some form of OTA ontop, you can build up on it more so than the meade. Or you can put a Meade OTA on the eq6
