Thinking about a new mount
by Chuck Hards 01 Apr '08

My old equatorial mount/imaging platform is showing it's age, so I'm beginning to look for a possible replacement. I want a medium-duty mount (30-40 lb. capacity), good quality, and don't want to spend a fortune on it. The Orion Atlas mount has caught my eye. Kurt, you've had your Atlas mount for a while now, care to comment on it's strengths and weaknesses?

Meade Telescope for sale

I have a Meade 10" LX200GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope for sale. I don't have a specific price in mind and will entertain any reasonable offers. On AstroMart, scopes similar to mine seem to be selling for around $2,000 to $2,500. Thank you. Please respond to me directly at bolide(a)sisna.com. I don't check the Utah Astronomy list.
