Default What is the Meade LX200R?

SNIP
So, whatever you call them, they are a significant improvement over the
standard SCT: the RCX scope are f 8 versions of this design whilst the
new scopes are f 10 versions of the same design. The new scopes have
the "pseudo RC" optics in the standard GPS tubes and are available in
fork mounted and OTA only versions.


It would be interesting to put one up against the Vixen VC200L which has
been around for years and has a significantly better flat field and off axis
performance compared with the SCTs
