Joe And Stuart With The Meade LX200 12in. TelescopeHere we are installing the new 12in. Meade LX200 telescope in
the new observatory. After much discussion with the telescope, it did decide to
co-operate. Later we mounted a 4in. Celestron 102HD as a guide scope on the
12in. using the Losmandy mounting rings and rail system. The Losmandy system
sounded expensive, but after using it... IT IS A BARGAIN. You'll notice the
inside walls are not yet finished. As you can tell by the expression on Joe's
face, we were caught off guard by the paparazzo's.
