12" LX200 case

Posted By David Williams

I have a 12" LX 200 on order and I am looking for a nice case for it to sleep in during the days. (Hmm don't Vampires do that?) Are there any alternatives that anyone knows of to the multi hundred dollar cases? Would anyone know the measurements of the shippng foam?

Carbon Fiber Secondary Holder

I am posting a photo of a Novak 2.6 holder and one I made from Carbon Fiber for the same mirror. The difference in weight is amazing. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Solar filters

Posted By David Williams

I just ordered a full aperture Kendrick Baader type filter for a 12" LX 200. Does anyone have any experiaence with these that they can share? I have been told that I need a 2" variable polarizer to use with it. Is this true? I must admit I am a bit spooked now as to the safty of this filter on this size scope. Please fill me in.
