Lx200gps - Page 2

Mike, that's what I paid for my LX200 GPS 10" from Bintel in January. I got a complementary 2" diagonal and 30mm GSO EP as part of the price. I recommend you try to bargain these into the deal, or try to get what I got from Bintel instead.

I suspect with the advent of the RCX400 the price of the LX200's will drop a bit. At the moment though, the price sounds OK to me.

No bull now, I just need the right gear to make this purchase, not a wish list of expensive stuff.
At least half of the money will be going into my house, for renovations.
I just need to know what is really neccessary.
I expect that this will be the last scope I ever buy.

Mike,

I have a lot of gear, most of which I mentioned in gest (just ask 1ponders Mike Salway or Orion) but it really comes down to what you really feal comfortable with. you can have just as much fun with a dob, or a takahashi it is up to you. any advice is just that advice! it really comes down to what you feel ok with, remember you will be owning it for a long time!

Mike, if you like, we could organise a time and you could come have a play with my 10"...

Sausageman (Mike Boggan) · #25 03-09-2005, 07:05 PM

WOW, That would be great Andrew, Thanks, could I bring my Son along, he is going to play with the one I am getting, he's 25 by the way.

I am on night shift all this week, so it will have to be after that, and I am also going to a music festival next weekend.

Mike.

The week after this one suits me, I'm literally hours away from become a very busy man.

I work weekend shift, but have the 16/17/18 off if you're unable to make it during the week leading up those dates. Sure, your son is more then welcome.

Sausageman (Mike Boggan) · #27 06-09-2005, 09:31 AM

Sounds like a plan to me Andrew.
I will contact you next week then.

Cheers

Mike

So Banjoman, made your decision yet, or waiting to try out a few options first?

Sausageman (Mike Boggan) · #29 09-09-2005, 10:33 AM

Yep Rod,
Decision made, just trying to sort out the extra's
Too much to choose from though isn't there?
I'll just go for the basic set-up, then see what freebies I can get thrown in.

A few grand?? Can you buy me a Celestron CPC 8" or 10" SCT, or a Mak-Newt on a G11. I think the CPC is better than the LXD200gps but tis early days yet for the CPC.

elusiver · #31 09-09-2005, 04:10 PM

so u'r going with the 12" lx200gps then mike??

Not the 12". will stick with the 10".
that way it gives me more money to spend on add ons and ep's.

I am really looking forward to getting it. A whole new "Dimension" will open up, LOL.
