Thanks Adrian. The green filter helps bring out the finer details when imaging the Moon under good seeing conditions. It's best to capture with a narrow slice...
Thanks very much Luther!! It's nice to know you don't need a very expensive scope to capture fine images as the LX90 can go toe to toe with the best of them:-)...
Hi Mike, I would try a dew heater on it's lowest setting and see if the dew holds off long enough for you to collimate. I have not found my Kendrick dew heater...
Ed, After looking at what you've done with you DMK 21 and now seeing what you're doing with your DMK 41 your making me (probably everyone else too) drool to no...
I'm purchasing and LX90 GPS 8", new, and this is my first serious telescope. I would like suggestions on: A: What eyepieces to purchase? It apparently comes...
Hi Colin Congratulations on your purchase - LX90's are great scopes. Eye pieces and barlows are super important depending on what you want to view (image). The...
Yes, but it's an AC outlet, not a portable power pack. I used to run them both from a battery pack for many years with no problems. I just decided to go with...
Hello Dave, I'd check your hbx cable and its connections. I've had something similar when I haven't fully clicked the in hand box cable. If it happens again it...
Hi, I note that in the lx90 hand controller there is the facility to enter daylight saving. What I wondered is if this is not entered does the telescope pick...

Hi Matt, I ordered the USB 21 monochrome version on Friday. Now I just need the adaptor to fit it to the filter wheel. I didn't have a telescope in 2003, so...
Hi Colin Get a couple of GOOD wide angle eyepieces. The Mead Super Wide and Ultra Wide are fantastic. I have the 13.8mm and 8.8mm and a barlow. I also have ...
Nick, All of the LX-90 time calculations are done relative to UTC (GMT). It uses your offset from GMT to do all of the calculations since you enter local ...
Hi there, I second Kevin's thoughts on a wide angle eyepiece. I have a meade 18mm ultra wide angle eyepiece and although it was expensive it gives me superb...

I replaced the old cable because it was starting to show signs of wearing out. I started to get the dreaded shut down (rather than hang) when the cable was...

A few words about filters. Start out with a good quality Neutral Density (around 15%) for viewing the Moon. A full Moon is certainly much more pleasant if...

If you don't want to spend a lot on eyepieces right away I would go with the 140 barlow and maybe an 18mm super wide. This would give you 26mm, 13mm, 18mm,...
