Hi Darrin
I had a LXD-75 mount. Its a good learner mount. If you are looking at visual astronomy (pardon the pun) its a great workhorse (if noisy). For astrophotography, you will want to trade up after a while - I did after about a year.
Now the scope itself - they can be great. I have a schmidt-newtonian 8 inch. Its very fast and presents a wide field of view so its very good for learning the ropes.
The only reason I moved on from the scope was that my new camera is too heavy for the focuser.
Good luck with it
Pete
