I bought a 12" LX90 LNT with UHTC from a person who had a classified ad here at Astromart in September. I received the telescope in the original shipping boxes. I was not able to use
the telescope until the other day but in the mean
time I studied the instruction booklet. It talked
about the use of the LNT module and Smart Finder and to remove them when placing the telescope back in the shipping foam/box. When I looked at the items that came with the telescope I could see that no LNT module was included. The shipping box was labled LNT. I e-mailed the original owner and he stated that nothing was removed from the telescope. The finder scope mount was on the right side of the scope(if facing the scope from the rear). Any way I
could tell if this LX90 came or did not come
with an LNT module? Were there different configurations of this scope? The scope was about 4 months old in September.

Here's the link for the manual.

On page 6 is a pic of the scope showing the LNT module attached.

My guess is the previous owner is just advertising what it says on the box with out fully understanding what LNT means. Was he the original owner or selling for someone else?
