Hello,
For weight vs. portability issues and minimum aperture that I can
stand, I have decided on an LX200R as my next scope.
It wouldnt hurt my feelings none.
1. Can it be focued for best optical performance and then an
auxilliary focuser used installed which moves the camera/eyepiece
rather than moving the primary.
Check out JMI, and Van Slyke for very nice after market focusers.
All depends on how much you want to spend. (do you really need
one that will support 12 lbs ?)
12 LB would support one heck of a cryo-cooler :-)
2. Are there after market wedges which provide MAX vibrational damping
A club member has a Milburn wedge, and I must admit, it is
a hefty well machined piece of gear. He is extremely happy
with it.
3. Finally, if there are reasons why this is a stupid or bad choice
(sans the $ involved) I would rather hear them now than after I buy.
Sincerely,
Jim Klein
Sounds all good to me :)
