Help an equipment junkie narrow to one scopePosted By Gary Grender |
Dave, I have the Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS on wheeley bars and I find it to be a great scope. I keep it in my garage. The wheeley bars make it simple and quick to take out and set up, and the scope is very easy to use with excellent optics. You will find the ease of set up will make you actually want to use it more. If you purchase a used one, be sure it has the updated motor board and hand controller to be sure you get the most out of the scopes capabilities. Any of your listed choices I'm sure will be quite satisfactory.

Finderscope for a C925Posted By Gary Grender |
Hi Paul... check out Gary Russell's RA finders. I have 2 of his 9x60's and they work quite well. He has them up to 14x80 also. It would be tough to beat his prices... and all the finders fit into 50mm rings.

Voltage / amp for the fan on a Meade 7" Mak ???Posted By Gary Grender |
Gene... I tested the cord voltage to the fan on my Meade 7 at a little over 12 volts. It is an LX50. You should be right on the money with your voltage. I'm sure 9 volts would work fine also.

EyepiecesPosted By Gary Grender |
Check out the William Optics 2" diagonal w/1 1/4 adapter. Great performance at an excellent price. Availability may be an issue, it has been in the past, but I'm not sure about now. An SCT version is available for your LX200, but if you will be using a Crayford or motorized focuser, the standard version will be necessary. I have yet to read of a complaint about the WO's.

GRS DisturbancesPosted By Gary Grender |
I was noticing that the GRS was a light pink color that I had never noticed before. Next to it something was evident... but your seeing conditions must be better than mine. Are you looking thru your cooled C11?
