hahaha yes i would _love_ an observatory... but unfortunatly i rent where i live, and NSW is just ridicoulous for land prices, specially anywhere within 3 hrs of sydney, and then theres the light pollution!

had a quick playwith it on saturday night. my friend who i drove back to QLD liked the scope aswell... so i might have convinced him to buy one aswell.

Hey Michael, $500 delivery to Tassie??????!!!!!!!#@*%!

Good grief, it makes a Dob an expensive purchase. Sorry to hear that.

Rowena, enjoy your new robotic, noisy, computerised cheat scope. (just jealous)

Hey great to see you have joined the LX200 club. Now some words of advice.

-Don't drop it, they are very unforgiving.
-Get a dew heater or two, you will need it. Dew shields are good, but fail during the night.
-Get Bobs knobs and collimate your scope. You will be impressed with the results.
-Do the ezi clutch adjustment.
-Buy yourself a blower to clean the corrector plate and also a camel hair brush (I need one of these).

Have a great time most of all. This is a good scope and should last you for years and years. They have a good track record and I hope you enjoy it.
