Hi Colin

Thanks for the link. I took some pix with the LPI last night. Haven't
figured out how to get them onto a web page yet. I'll let you know when its
sorted.

Regards

Chris

I've never been much good at star-hopping, hence the desirability of
GOTO.

We recently left a small GOTO in South Africa for future visits
(aaaahhh,
southern skies...) and after a disappointing brush with an Ebay
'special'
decided to take the plunge on an LX90.

You've bought a pretty good scope. Just thought you might be interested
in
paying my site a little attention.... there's a few projects on there that
can help to make your life with the LX90 even more pleasant.... I know,
they've helped me alot. Mind you at the moment, I'm working on my next
project - a full scale powerpack to power scope, dew heater and other
stuff
from a nice little 85Ah battery! Hopefully, once I've got all the parts
togther I'll be able to update my site.

Glad you like the LX90, I've found that the optics are just as good as any
other scope that I've seen - including some 12" scopes! The reason for
this
is that whilst the 12" has greater light gather capability, it also tends
to
suffer more from bad weather conditions!
