I have a 10" LX-200 f/10 which I use almost exclusively under the less than optimum conditions present in Vista, California. Coming from the more or less clear, more or less dark of Kansas, I was in for a real surprise. One must be content with one´s situation.

Helping the LX to do its job are:

  • JMI NGF-S Focuser
  • Losmandy counterweights and guider rings
  • Telrad reflex finder
  • AstroVisioner 80mm f/5
  • Meade Super Wedge
  • Meade f/0.33 Reducer/Corrector
  • Meade f/0.63 Reducer/Corrector
  • Meade 1.5x Barlow
  • Vixen 10mm Plossl
  • Meade 26mm Super Plossl (standard equipment)
  • Meade 12 VDC Power Converter
  • A few Quickcams - color and grayscale
  • Genesis 16 with KAF-0401
  • Andy Saulietis´ Filter Wheel
  • Edmund Scientific RGB and CMY filter sets
  • 400 MHz Celeron box

The software used is:
 

  • DeepSky 2000
