Hi Josh, I started out with an LX-90, initially Alt-Az on a tripod, and then on a home-made wedge, and occasionally attached a camera but found that there was just not enough clear space to safely manouvre the camera in the dark. It was then that I decided to upgrade to a GEM. I upgraded the scope too to an LX-200 ACF OTA, and whilst I still do mainly visual observation, the OTA is quite capable for AP, although I did replace the focuser for a crayford-style.
