I am getting this scope tommorow, i would like to know if any one has had any experiance with scope, and its pros & cons. Im getting it mainly for Astrophotography and am going to use a Olympus OM-1 camera. Just wondering.

Thanks

I can tell you most things you might want to know. Could you be
more specific with your concerns.

One thing is the optics, Meade having sold both the f-10 and
the f-6.3 versions. The f-10's were easier to produce and had
more predictable optics. The f-6.3's had some good and somewhat
mediocre optics. The only way to know is to collimate as best
you can and to check it out.

Fork arms aren't as sturdy as the LX-50's/LX-200's.

Let me know what else I can tell you.
