Default Ok, I did it... LX10

Any LX 10 owners want to tell me how pleased they are with theirs?

Hi:

Well, I'll admit I've always bought Celestron as my personal telescopes.
HOWEVER...the eight LX10s we purchased here (University of South Alabama
Physics Dept.) have worked admirably well and have held up much better than I
thought they would. They've hardly been babied by six years of beginning
astronomy students. These are not fancy scopes, but they work as advertised and
are very nice for visual observing or even introductory imaging. That is, I'm
impressed by these pleasantly simple telescopes. My main criticism? the wedge.
It's hard to adjust for polar alignment. Course, you can always upgrade to a
better one.



Peace,
