Fellow Astronomers, at the end of this year, I will be purchasing a Meade 12'' LX90.
I realise that it's not as good as the LX200 series,but budget constraints will only go up to the price of an LX90
Just like to know if the optical quality is good enough to see planetary detail when the seeing is good and on DSO, has anyone caught a glimpse of colour in the Orion Nebula with the LX90 12''?
I used to own a 16'' dob. with ''so so'' optics
..........but did see some green and pink in this nebula. Will the 12 incher manage this or does it need to be of larger aperature before colour is visible?
Anyhow, any comments, good or bad would be welcomed.
Cheers,
Rob.
