Too bad about your scope, Joe. Good luck. I had a nightmare with Meade getting my LXD650 mount to work properly. In five years (including previous owner) it's been back to Meade as many times. If I ever buy another Meade product, it won't be one that could ever need servicing. They haven't screwed up their eyepieces too much...

Observe during the winter? What a novel concept .... Actually, often too many clouds get in the way. When I have gone it's to the St. George vicinity but there's so much light pollution from Las Vegas that this is a problem. If I were going to travel as far as Death Valley, which does sound like a nice idea, I'd probably head to Tucson instead to see my son and his wife, and drag my telescope there too. That is, if it's ever repaired.
