Why is parfocalizing recommended w/helical focusers? Guess I dont understand what it means. Are rings used to convert no parfocalizing eps?

How can I determine if scope performs according to Meade specs? I believe accuracy is supposed to be 5 arc-min; how is this defined?

Any advice on meaning and a fix for OTA that does not stay level when I rotate my LX90 around RA axis? Are tripod legs probably not equal length?

Does anyone know if an 8" Celestron wedge will work on my LX90? Am assuming I'll need to get an adapter plate.

Does anyone have instructions for this wedge (#93656;has large opening in tilt plate); I dont believe it is made any longer.
