Hi Dean.

I am new to Astromart and I just happen to know how to connect an LX200 10" Mount to a Nexstar 8 SE Tripod.  The 10" Meade is held down by an M8-2 threaded rod, 16" long, (2MM pitch threads).  If you have that rod all you have to do is drill the center hole in the 8 SE mount to M8 or 1/2" will work.  Do the same to the eyepiece holder.  you will need 3 knurled  M8-2 clamp nuts.  Two of them will be 'through hole' type.  One for above the eyepiece holder and another one under it, and the third will be locked onto the end of the rod.  then tighten the rod into the M8 -2 female in the bottom of your LX200 mount.  Next, tighten the 1st clamp nut up tightly under the bottom of the tripod.  That will hold the Mount in place.  Then, push the eyepiece holder up where it belongs and tighten the other clamp nut under it just snuggly.  That's it.  You're done.

If you don't have the rod, you can find one on eBay.  You might want to check to make sure the base of the mount is threaded M8-2.  I'm pretty sure but that doesn't really cut it.

Hope that helps.

In 2016, I was flabbergasted by the Dems trying to install Hillary as the President of the United States of America.  Underestimating the intelligence of the American public.  Then in this race, the dog & pony show the Dems put on to at least make it appear to be a legitimate 'people's choice' selection for the Democratic Candidate.  Although it will certainly not be in 2020, the handwriting is on the wall that the Left Wingers are going to get their shot at creating their Dream Country.  

 My guess is that the DNC is actually got their sights focused on the 2032 election.  After President Trump's second term, the next President will be an outstandingly bright and talented black Republican Woman Senator, currently a first-term Congressman.  No!  Not a Congresswoman nor a Congressperson.  So, there is a 12-year window for a miracle to change the course of American politics, and thus the Country. 

I figure that by 2031, the Democrats will have taken control of their party and will rely on sheer number power generated mostly by our educational institutions.  If we can't figure out a way to level that field, it's over.  When the Democrats lulled us all to sleep while they slipped in the 18 year old vote on us' I suppose that the majority of us were thinking; well. just how bad can it be?  

I'm going to look back and find out what the Republicans gave up to the Dems in order to allow that to happen.  Are we already in an unbreakable choke hold?  Just try to un-ring THAT bell.  Who will history hold accountable for that?  Aren't you curious?  BTW, many of those entitled 18-20 year old voters are on display nightly in the streets of what once amongst the greatest cities in America.  The compelling argument back then was that if an 18-year-old could pack an M-1 and possibly give his life for his Country, he should be entitled to vote.  Yeah, RIGHT! 

SO, it appears that for the next 12 years, we will have to depend on the left-winger's own stupidity to keep us in the game as a great Nation.  Actually, now that I think about it, I rather like that prospect.
