I love the 10in, its ability to reduce my exposure time etc, its great! It has a problem in that one side of every image(the left as viewed by us) has stars that are streaks and perfectly round ones on the other side. Visually, you cant notice this, take an image and it shows up every time. Since day one when we got it, we had no end of problems with the mount and collimation, loose corrector plates, secondary mirrors, etc. We were among the first in Australia to own an LXD55.
Its time to sigh, take a look around and find a new scope. At the and of the day, I'll probably go for a 10in newt again, just at this point need some random input!!
