Relisted and Price Reduced – I’m back from a holiday and its time to sell.
Meade 10'' LX200GPS for sale in good condition - it all works. Details below. Ask questions if you want to know more. Pickup only from near Lorne, Victoria. No shipping.
The Meade F6.3 Focal Reducer / Corrector is included. It improves edge-of-field correction. Stainless Steel screws and Stainless Collimation screws were installed early in its life.
The Autostar II and a wireless handset 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.
To check it out or pickup, you’ll need to come to just out of Lorne, Victoria at a mutually agreeable time and date. It is much too big and heavy to ship.
