This just in, new observatory sized celestron scope...
One major problem, I can't reach the "on" switch.

Piggybacking AT1010 to 8" LX200 Question

Posted By Robert Fields

I bought the AT1010 initially with the tripod and mount from stellarvue but decided to piggyback this on my N9.25GPS. I bought the losmandy setup which includes dovetail, the two dovetail attachments (DA)and finally the rings from stellarvue. The rings were of course designed for the AT1010 with the intention to attach them to the losmandy DA. The rings are three pronged rubbertipped and high quality. The losmandy is standard losmandy high quality. It took about 10lbs of counterweight on my setup to balance. I hope this helps.

I just got this massive autoguider!
It is for sale, however. Lets see, the CCD chip is a mere 3'x3'!

What they said is that they "will do it again"
That means they are not going to do anything new and they are just repeating themselves. So I think they will get out the old ads for the lx200 and repost them all. smile
