refractions Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I know this may seem a weird request, but has anyone get the height of a LX200 12" scope from the base to the top of the ota ( with the ota level). I have been offered one, but not sure if i have got enough roof clearance in my observatory.Many thanksIain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaptain Klevtsov Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Might be time to shorten the pier or dig a hole in the bottom of the shed. Captain Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaptain Klevtsov Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 That'd be the one.Captain Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
refractions Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Nah, not that one - I do get quite a bit of stuff from ebay - but that guy is a zero feedback guy - so as far as i`m concerned - Stay away!!Well, i done the deed. I will soon be the owner of a 12" LX200 classic - and will soon be selling a 8" LX200 classic. Guy who built observatory said that there will be no problem with height.

tom.yates Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Congrats on your purchase, I used to own a 12" myself very good scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardust Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Was it genuine? If so what a bargain.I looked at it and asked him," if he bought it through ebay, how come he still had no feedback?" Didn't get a reply, looked dodgy to me.So I've settled on a real 10" LX200 that I'm collecting on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
