  • Nice one robertyr9. You'll have a heaps of fun exploring the skies with your new Meade.

    it is a GREAT scope for a beginner (NO disrespect intended .. we all beginners at one time)

    I'd love to see any pics if you manage to mount a camera. tick with it, It is an amazing journey. My 1st scope was a TINY refractor probably a 1/4 as powerfull as yours (some 30 years back) But it has progressively lead me to my equipement and utter joy with astronomy.

    Well done mate. Feel free to drop me an email.

  • Think thousands with that rolloff roof observatory.

  • The Telescope its componemnts (after some post factory modifications) and the camera as well came in at around the $20,000 mark so I guess AUS$25000 would be a good good ball park guesstimate of the total cost for scopes, cameras and observatory.  As you'd be aware tho, no one needs to spend money of this magnitude to enjoy the wonders of the universe, Tho many spend much MUCH more lol.

    Thanx for the interest.

  • where does the coffe come out...just kidding..nice scope.. that thing must be expensive ...for what it cost you probably wish it did make coffee.

  • In actuality, it is a Meade LX-200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Prior to 2005, Meade produced SCTs until they introduced the so-called "Advanced Ritchey-Chritien" scope, which was used for the RCX 400 and LX 200R series scopes, but was sued by two RC scope manufacturers. As part of the settlement, Meade now calls them "Advanced Coma Free" (ACF) scopes and now uses the optical design on all of its old SCT line (including the LX 90 line).
