Hello I have a 14" LX200R attached to an AP1200 using a set of Parallax Instruments rings. The setup is housed in my observatory and I'm very happy with it. I...
... It is certainly feasible. Many others have done exactly that and it's doubtful that you'd be getting anywhere near the capacity of your AP1200. Just don't...
Gavin -- I have a Losmandy dovetail attached to the top of my Parallax rings holding a Meade 16" LX200GPS OTA. On the rail rides a Tak FC-100. The FC-100 is a...
