Howdy Gazers and Astrophotographers and , fellow space junkys ;D
I have recently ordered the new Mesed lxd75 10" completely loaded. UHTC- was the extra option.
Standard comes with 26mm eyepiece , Go-To , Auto-Suite ll , and the Meade Planetary Imager !
I cant wait until I get it and start scoping the cosmos.
Along with that I got the celesron plossl eyepiece/filter kit. I'm sure its going to be enough for now to keep me busy for sometime.
Future purchase will be a digital slr camera just havent decided on wht to get as of yet and , I need to save up again too !! lol
I will keep everyone posted as the events unfold and report back when She comes in and i get to take her out for a spin on the stars !!

Astroviewer,

Is this the scope that you are anticipating?

Boy, quite a beauty there! Twice the aperature of my tube and with all the bells & whistles. But a caveat here...I have found that Meade often uses sub-standard finder scopes in general. Many have complained of plastic tubing and lenses. I hope yours is different.

All reflector finder scopes, (regardless of make), need to utilize a 45° diagonal for comfortable targeting. I constructed my own finder scope with a 45° star diagonal. Works quite well, but I am not as stringent on precise alignment as I should tho.

When I no longer have to concern myself with heat, gasoline and food..I too shall get a monster scope...perhaps a 14"!!

I look forward to your post on your maiden observation, you lucky, lucky man.

I will definatly kep that in mind.
I'm sure as I go along with this scope as any other some modifications most definatly have to be done.


Was thinking of putting a flame paint scheme on it ... lolol

Astroviewer,

I got to thinking about your desire for a unique scope, and I searched Ebay for one...with flames. And I found it!!!!

I put in a bid for you, but It's going fast!!

Flames look really cool !! hehe
No fuzzy dice though...also to add just got a decent pair of 10x50 bino's and a celestron eyepiece/filter kit.

Still counting the days for delivery ..... "sigh"
(good thing I have enough going to keep my mind off of it!)
