Yeah I agree Seeker...alot of negative feedback on the LXD mounts, so I have decided to cross the LXD range off my list.
I went looking at some scopes today....I fell in love with the Meade LX200 10"...I could see this being my baby...well big baby...lol.... but Its probably a bit big so I am seriously looking at the Meade LX90 or LX200 8", My local dealer is a Celstron dealer and said that the Nextar are far superior in quality then Meade in every aspect, but If I was looking to buy a Meade he recommended Bintel as a supplier for their warranty support and best prices.
I dont believe what any retailers says and find forums with actual customers responding give a much better perspective then the Dealers.
From the forums I have read it seams Meade have it over the Nextar in optical quality but what about the whole build product?
Is their really that much difference between the Meade LX200 8" and 10" for the extra $1000 but big difference in size and weight
From the specs of these forums...I see many have the meade range which make me think they are either much cheaper then the Nexstar of better quality or again better value for money.
I will be looking through a Nexstar 11" on my viewing night that has been moved to Sunday 16th January but I may have to go up the coast and visit Paul (Iponders) to see the Meade Lx200 8" in action.
I have decided I will definetly be going to the GOTO range just need to decide on which one......? Meade is looking the go at the moment.
