Hi Adam,

I have had a 12" Lightbridge for about 10 months and am happy with it. I have modified it somewhat to assist in balancing it and have improved on the lazy susan roller bearings. Also added an Argo Navis, which I love and have just got the Bobs Knobs set for it. Early on I replaced the springs in the primary mirror cell, something you will need to do as a matter of course regardless of the brand of scope.

I have also made up fittings to directly fix the top end to the bottom end, to take up less room during transport.

I have an observatory with a permanently mounted scope and use the 12" LB as a portable scope to take out in the field with my astronomy group.

Regards
Trevor
