Hi Frank,

The lx90 is an 8" schmidt cassegrain. It is very similar to the brand new lx90 that you can see on the meade website.

http://www.meade.com/lx90/index.html

But its the older model without GPS. To me GPS is really just a gimic as all you do is type in your location/time. Then undo the wheel locks and click 1 or two star alignment. Then manually set the telescope on the star you chose and away you go. Much faster i think.

But just to let you know this is the older model. (no GPS) and is the UHTC model not the Advanced coma free.

Let me know if you are still interested.
