The LX 200 10" is a nice scope (I have one) but if you intend to do AP there are better choices out there. When mounted on a wedge (you will need to do that) the fork arms are quite flexible and this will cause all sorts of problems even in a light breeze. They are very heavy and getting them on the wedge is no small task (the 12" will be worse). F10 and 2500 - 3000mm focal length is not a good place to start either. If you are serious about AP with one of these scopes buy a seperate tube and mount it on a decent equatorial mount. Forget the forks unless you like pain.
