whilest i was researching what I was going to do in obtaining a GEM, I thought of this little plan for those of you that have LXD55's.
to upgrade the mount you can purchase a brand spanking new Meade LXD75 6" Newtonian w/EC controller for $1,195.00. now transfer your autostar and weights and put your scope on the LXD75 mount and sell the old LXD55 mount with the 6" Newtonian w/EC controller for a modest sum, new scope used mount for a fair price to someone who would appreciate a cheap reasonable scope!
What do you think fellas?????
