hi Steve and mate ,I dont own one , but I have looked thru one and it was really good , 12 inches is a huge light grasp , and it was awsome on saturn and mars just receintly . impressive it was .
One more thing it only took 10 minuites to set up , a great design I thought .
Oh yes 2 more things ,,, Meade design some of the sexiest telescopes on the planet , and the LB's are no exception , real crowd pleasers . .
If the price is right go for it , if its in good nick.

Was hoping for some opinions on the 12" Meade Lightbridge Deluxe Dobsonian. I currently have a Celestron 130eq that just is not cutting it for me anymore and have been looking to upgrade for sometime now. I was looking into getting a 10" skywatcher collapsible dob but stumbled across the Meade 12" in my price range. Has anyone had any experience and would you recommend it? I've looked at a few reviews online about them and overall it gets a good wrap but I have found most reviews say it needs a few upgrades after purchase?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Steve.
