I have an LX90, so am not sure about the LX200, but with mine, when you go to Alt/Az mode, all PEC funtions, including the PEC training feature are removed from the menu. In Alt/Az mode, neither elements are necessarily driven at a constant speed, hence PEC can't really be predicted.

I f you are wedded to using the Meade mount/drive, I suggest using a wedge, but make sure it is really robust. There will be a lot of weight hanging on it, especially if you include guide scopes and 3d balance weights.

Most people (not all) taking images, eventually migrate to an equatorial mount of some sort. I removed the OTA from my Meade and put it on an equatorial mount.
