10" LX 200 Classic Serial Number

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Robert, as far as I know, there's NO way to tell the BORN-DATE of your scope from the Serial Number... (it seems that Meade has a different way of generating SNs)

Newbie seller alert

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

RC has been doing some amazing work for quite a bit now...
It is GOOD to see him around here... even is he is to be considered an AM Newb by his ratings! 8)

As far as the price goes, well, let's consider that maybe he is NOT looking into making a quick buck here. Maybe he is trying to HELP the community by passing a great piece of equipment as a good price... wink

If I was in the market for an NP101 this would make me a very happy camper... wink


Clear skies Jim! 8)

Larry, I have not tried this software personally, but judging by your results it seems it can come quite handy...

Thanks for posting! wink

We expect a Full fledged Report once tested... this needs the Floydian Seal of Approval! wink

Beautiful shot Jim! 8)
You are the only one I know that used the Artemis Camera... I wonder WHY it is not that popular here, as it seems to be quite good... 8)

A little worried about my transaction.

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

AD numbers WILL NOT change unless it got deleted and re-created...
I would recommend contacting the seller and making sure everything is OK...

Were there any other items being SOLD with it? Maybe he made a change in the Ad and instead of EDITING he/she used DELETE and MADE A NEW ONE?
