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!

Periodic Error of LXD55 mount

Post by MCYM »

Good evening to all

Recently, I've got an opportunity to measure the periodic error of a refurbished LXD55 mount.
So far, there has been very limited published PE results on this mount.
As it goes, the results & findings can be found on the following link.

Question and comments are welcome

Interesting results! I am really surprised by a small PE. It seems the problem of the LXD55 may mainly come from a tripod. BTW, your website is so informative.

Hi Anat

I was pleasantly surprised by the low PE too. It works very well now that i have it mounted on a pier.

Now that you have also completed a number of ingenious astro project, . I'll be looking forward to your website too. That is, if have the time to put up one.

Cheers

Matthew
