Meade vs. Celestron 8" GPS

Posted By Jason Bokor
Scott -

One factor that led me to the Meade 8" LX200 GPS over the Celestron was the manual Alt-Az controls. Sometimes I'll just take out the scope to view the sun, planets, etc. and I do not need to bother with any electronics. Also, I had an LX200 non-GPS that had really excellent optics. Either way you can't go too far wrong.

Jeff-

Remember the weeks following 9/11/01 when everyone was genuinely concerned about everyone else.

This shot is from 20 or so miles away (south shore of Long Island).

Which Barlow for PST?

Mike -

I used a Klee 2.8x with the 12.5K that came with the PST ~ 90x. No problem reaching focus, however some detail was lost.

Rainout for 11/8 Mercury Transit in CT

Its pretty upsetting here in NY. I was going to bring my PST to my sons 5th grade class so that they could see it.

Here is a link to a live webcast:

Nice shots, what is your setup?

btw, you might want to clean your sensor, you have a bunch of dust specs.
