G'day Chris. The LX90 and LX200 series are fork mount. For long exposure astrophotography you need a GEM or wedge mount. LX80 series, LX600 or LX800 series. Kind of expensive though.

A cheaper option might be a HEQ5 goto or NEQ6 and pick a scope to mate with it. Depends what you want to shoot. Planets, wide field deep sky or narrow field deep sky. They all require slightly different setups.

A bit OT but have we spoken on 6m in the past? The call sounds familiar.
