This is an excellent condition Meade LX90 LNT model that has been upgraded to GPS spec with a StarGPS module. The Autostar controller is fully updated and patched for the module. The recent GPS week rollover bug has been sorted.
The corrector plate & mirrors are brilliantly clean! The Autostar controller still has the original plastic screen protector too. No rust on any bolts, the chrome on the tripod legs is still in great condition. The onboard battery compartments are as clean as a whistle, no corrosion on any of the contacts at all.
Comes with: Original
Instruction Manual
9x50 finder
Front & rear dust cap
240v/12v (cigarette lighter type) power supply
LNT module (minus the clear red dot screen) Additional
red-dot finder
Celestron 1.25" visual back
Celestron 1.25" diagonal
2 x Celestron 1.25" Omni plossl's (9mm and 20mm)
Black cloak cover (BBQ type)
Purchaser has first right to (as additional) a Losmandy counterweight system. Which includes an underneath-mounted full-length vixen bar, with counterweight & clamp (pictures available at request).
This LX90 has been my primary mobile asteroid occultation recording 'scope. It fully functions as intended, I've not encountered any issues during the 10 years I've owned it. I have now moved onto an AZEQ5/C8 rig, allowing the flexibility of running different/dual OTA's. Only selling due to needing the space, otherwise I'd be happy to retain this great condition 'scope and see it age well to classic status.
Inspection welcome & encouraged!
Telescope is located at Parkdale, bayside Melbourne. Pickup only.
Please PM for additional information or to arrange an inspection.
Thanks for looking.
Regards, Dean
