Thanks for the comments Frank, Jen and Mike your 12" LX200 should have been a great Galaxy machine.

Yeh it was ok but it took for ever to thermally stabilise, even with less focal length the Starfire pulls in just as much detail or even more so and has a much wider corrected FOV...but yes, it is only 6" compared to 12" so takes longer to grab the faint stuff
