Meade 10'' LX200GPS for sale in remarkable condition. $5000. it looks and works like new. The Meade F6.3 Focal Reducer / Corrector is included. It improves edge-of-field correction. The Mirrors and front Corrector glass are excellent and the scope gives sharp images. Stainless Steel screws and Stainless Collimation screws were installed early in its life.
The Autostar II and a wireless handsets are both working. The LX200GPS electronics and motors work as they should. You might want to replace the (easily replaced) CR2032 large button battery to maintain the GPS emphemeris data and so get faster set up if you use the original handsets.
It comes with a WiFi adapter which is by far my preferred option – programs like SkySafariPlus give you a 2023 control experience on your smartphone and use the smartphone time and GPS data for a fast reliable setup process.
I’m selling due to my age, eyesight and health.. Make me an offer if you think I’ve got the price wrong.
