Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

Hmm, but if it can function in Alt Az mode, it should be fine for low alt application...

To make it work, most likely will need a wedge or a angled pier to reach 1 degree of singapore.

there's a long LONG thread on CN about the LX800 booboos.

apparently meade has recalled ALL of them for both mechanical and firmware fixes.

like i said when this thread originally started... meade doesn't have a good record, and this proves it.

not to mention the LX800 mount costs as much as a Mach1 [smilie=beaten.gif]
