WANTED : LX 200 - LX 90 8"/10"/12" (or a Lightbridge)

[jonathank]

G'Day Guys,
I am arrived few months ago from France and I really enjoy this forum.
I got an ETX 125 before but the Aussie sky is so amazing that I'd like something bigger.
So I'm intersested in a LX 200 - LX 90 8"/10"/12" (or a Lightbridge).
I am not decided yet as it will depend on the price.
Also I don't need to precise I want something which works perfectly with a great optic quality! (+ tell me if you have accessories available)
You will make an Happy Astrofan.
So don't hesitate to contact me if you are thinking about selling your scope.
Cheers mates,
Jonathan

See u soon under the dark sky

G'day 2 the forum!

[jonathank]

Hi everyone,
I received 9 offers which is more than I expected.
7 for the LX90 ,
2 for the LX200,
0 for a lightbridge.

So, does that mean the the owner of a lightbridge are excluded of the forum or they are so happy with their scope they want to keep it?

I'd like to have an offer for a Lightbridge 12" but if you have a LX send it also.

At the moment my choice goes to a LX200R 8". But I can still change!

Cheerssssssssssss

mate there are not a whole lot of lightbridges around in Australia just yet, they havent been available for even a year here.
The owners of the 12' that i have met (only three i admit) just love them.
Perhaps most LB owners dont want to sell just yet But you never know your luck.

You can't even buy the Lightbridges new at the moment, from what I've heard there hasn't been any in the country for about 3 months

I can testify to that last post.

I am now waiting...waiting...waiting..... next best guess is mid March.....

[jonathank]

I found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So it will be a Meade LX200R 8" with 3 eyepieces :
- Meade SP 26mm
- Televue Panoptic 24mm
- Televue Radian 6mm

+ 2 diagonal prism (1.25 and 2) and sky maps, book.

Thanks to everyone for the offers and the advice. I got much more offer than I expected and don't forget the thread of MortonH . He's dreaming about a Lx 90 8".

Look forward to receive it

Is that a guess Shredder or what a shop has told you?

[shredder]

Isdonisgood,Its what a shop has told me. Now I have sold my 2 scopes I was planing to go right out and buy a 12" LB virtually the next day. But no luck, no one in Sydney seems to have any scopes and so I must wait....Shredder
