Wanted Review: Meade 10” LX200GPS

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Bart, I have not seen a REVIEW on this particular scope...

I personally own one..., if you have any questions I might be able to answer them for you...

One thing I would recommend is for you to join the Yahoo LX-200GPS Group, you'll find your answers in there, for sure.

Here's the link...

Take care,



Ivan

P.S.
I sure love mine!

Suggestion

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Indeed Paul... not a bad idea at all...
Also, some people assume that because they've mentioned their equipment once ago they "should not" do it anymore... well, there's a lot of new people, and not so new ones, that need a little "reminder" on what it is that was used and how...

So yes, please, if you could make sure to include a "little" description of equipment/settings it would be GREATLY appreciated...


Thanks again to all, and keep it up!

Just for fun

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Guy, that's how it all starts... just for fun, and shortly after you'll be an Astrophotography NUT!

Hope to see more of your "just for fun" shots...
