So What you are saying is that the LX90 is good for imaging so long as I have a wedge, and good balance
What I'm saying is that the LX90 can deliver quite acceptable images if configured and balanced correctly. The LX90 is a nice starting point visual tool that is capable of limited astrophotography, but most users find the wedge setup frustrating and not as sturdy as they would like and eventually gravitate to Equatorial mounts (I'm one of them). Unfortunately, on a budget of $2-3K it's not likely that you'll find a rig that will perform at a high standard both visually and photographically.
