I have a friend in Spanish Fork with a 16" scope that is not getting used that I'm sure you (or anyone else interested) could pick up for less than $1000. It's a big heavy dob, but 16" of aperture is nothing to sneeze at. If you're interested, let me know and I'll contact him regarding price. I'm pretty sure he'll make you a sweet deal. /Rich From: Craig Smith <cs2560@gmail.com> To: uvaa@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Sunday, January 4, 2015 10:02 PM Subject: Re: [UVAA] Telescope There was a 12" LX200 for sale around here last year for $3k I think; not sure what happened to it. That is itself a pretty hefty scope; I've had an 8" and 10" LX200 and even those were more than I could handle comfortably. Another option in that price range might be the 16" Lightbridge dob; someone here has one and the views are excellent.

Hi my name is Lynn Cooley
I am looking to get my hands on a Meade 16" telescope in the LX sears. But I can not afford to pay over $4000.00 for it. As I am retired and on a fixed income. So I would appreciate any help that any one can give me.
Thank you very much.
