Hi Rizal, Glad to know you get clear skies often. Here in Singapore that is a rare commodity. I have to drive 195 Km to Mersing for a meaningful observation.

Hi, In fact there may be many more beyond Pluto. But astronomers have not decided whether these can be classified as planets. Even Plutos status is in doubt There is a good article in Nov issue of Discover Magazine called "Beyond Pluto". Link as follows http://www.discover.com/issues/nov-0...

I know the Guy mentioned in the posting of Rich ,whose LX-90 will not even move when purchased. But this was no way a fault of "the overseas vendor". Just bad luck . In fact , "the overseas vendor" helped as best as they can in overcoming this inherent defect (a defective PCB) an...
