Any one got this scope yet, Meade 12" Lightbridge?
Can say a few words about it, good, bad , pros-cons, 10" or 12" better
etc...?
Thx, Julius


There's a 12" for sale on Astromart.... you could ask the seller for some
feedback.

Already for sale? Hmmm.

"Why are you selling?" comes to mind.

Personally, I'm not interested in any Dob larger than 8" aperture, that has
a round base. I had an XT10 and it was a PITA to move it around with the
handtruck, and even more of a pain without. I moved up to a 12" scope that
had a round base, and ended up buying a structure for the optics that had a
square base. That made it a LOT easier to move with a handtruck.

I would never buy another Dob with a round base, even in smaller apertures.
I just don't understand whoever thought it was a good idea, or why.
