It's been awhile since I was on this board.
My Meade LX850 mount's main board failed on me and Meade wouldn't sell me a main board.
But, I could pay $500.00 plus shipping, both ways, to send my mount to them and they would
send to Mexico to be repaired. I struggled for a long time to make a decision on what to do
about my Meade mount the their offer to fix it. I've had it with Meade and I have
supported them for years, now it's time to move on to better pastures.
I bought a iOptron (Center-Balance Equatorial Mount) CEM 120 mount and it is super nice.
The mount weighs 57 lbs. and holds 115 lbs. The mount has an cable management system
incorporated into the
amps and three 1 amp outputs ports.
I install iPolar camera into the CEM120 mount to help with polar alignment.
Monday the Pier is going to be delivered, so I'm getting real close to first light.
I installed a dome rotation and shutter kits in the observatory and I need to install the
pier, mount and
Well, I hope everyone is doing OK health wise? Wife and I are doing OK.
Take care,
