Why would you want to purchase an LDX55 mount? Why not a Vixen GP or
GP/DX? I've heard that quality control on the LDX55 leaves much to be
desired?


Hi Chuck:

Well, if you're on a budget, the GP with Skysensor will set you back a couple
of grand. Nice setup, though, for a small/medium OTA.

I do understand that Celestron _may_ be selling their "CG6" mount, that is
their LXD55 class goto mount, an EQ4 GEM with a Nexstar computer, without an
OTA. I'm hearing that this may be at least slightly better than the much
maligned 55.

Peace,
Rod Mollise
