Mounting Meade Lx90 onto Neq6 pro


Recommended Posts

Hi Tony

I'm assuming your NE6 Pro has a mounting interface which can take both the Vixen and wider Losmandy plates (I don't have one but I've just looked at a spec, I think that's right). Assuming that it is ready for Losmandy-style plates, then you can get Farpoint dovetail plates to fit Meade 8, 10, 12 and 14" SCT's, including the LX90. Here are the links, from 365Astronomy:

I've not done this myself, perhaps others on SGL will have direct experience. But I think this is what you need.

Good luck...

Great info thanks Nigel. how does the fairpoint stuff compare with genuine losmandy do you think?

I used the Farpoint kit on an LX90 when I deforked it some years ago - no problems.

Hi Tony,

I'm visiting infrequently at the moment... I've not used Farpoint plates before, but reviews seem to be pretty positive, and Mike clearly has direct experience - it sounds like they're a good solution.

Cheers


Nigel
