12" LX-200 F/10 OR 18" TRUSS DOB F/4.45

Posted By DAVE RODDA
I WAS LOOKING FOR SOME EXPERT ADVICE. WELL MAYBE JUST YOUR NOVICE OPINION ON WHICH ONE OF THESE SCOPES WOULD PERFORM BETTER. BOTH IN LIGHT POLUTED CITY SKY AND IN DARK SKIES? I AM CONSIDERING BUYING A TRUSS DOB AND WAS WONDERING HOW THEY COMPARE TO MY 12” LX-200 AS FAR AS DEEP SKY VIEWING AND PLANET VIEWING. ALSO HOW ARE THEY TO USE AS OPOSED TO THE LX-200? AND WHICH 18-24" DOBS ARE THE BEST ON THE MARKET FOR THE MONEY? THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME,

Posted By DAVE RODDA
I have been shopping for a large DOB and Have ran into a couple Starmasters for sale with the pegasus stabilite mirror. Can anyone comment on the PRO'S and CON'S of these mirrors? Why are they no longer offered on the starmaster scopes?
Is there any additional costs to have one recoated?

CCD imaging with a lx-200 12"

Posted By DAVE RODDA
I have posted this olso on the ccd forum but it is really a question about Equipment.
What combo works best for ccd imaging with a lx-200 12" on a budget.
Not so cheap as to frustrate me and not so expensive that I have to hide it from the wife?

Thanks

MEADE LXD750 MOUNTS GOOD OR BAD?

Posted By DAVE RODDA
I have a chance to pick up a lxd750 goto mount. Can anyone tell me if it worth the cash. Is there any known problems with the mount? I want to start using CCD and thought I could mount a Refractor or something on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
