Hi all,
Well it's that time of year when I move out to the cold and last week I swore to replace the mount that came with the LXD75 SN10.
I think most people who know this scope will agree that the mount supplied with the SN10 is way too small. So what are my options ? The Losmandy's look nice but which one ? Taking into account that the scope weighs in at 14kg plus all the extras camera, future guide scope and camera ...
The Losmandy GM-8 has a 30lbs (13.5kg) instrument and 60lbs (27kg) total weight capacity. I'd presume it would be a bad idea to have a 30lbs (13.5kg) tube on this mount ? The LXD75 SN10" weighs in at 30lbs. So it's the G-11 at minimum. That a good $3500
Would anyone like to swap an SN10 with an SN8
Any other mount and tripod suggestions ?
Cheers all,
Steve R.
