Sorry, I misunderstood, Deb.

The last time I bought a scope we had a flood back in December. We can't afford anymore floods down here. Seriously, the 15" Obsession is enough of a scope for me to handle. Maybe in 10 or 15 years I'll start downsizing. I'm glad I have friends with higher aperature scopes. A lot more fun to view than to set up.

Don't think Debbie was thinking about a 16". I just asked if anyone knew of one available for an associate who lives in California. Steve

Hi Deb, As the owner of a Meade 12" LX200GPS, I feel comfortable in advising against this telescope unless you're also willing to invest in an observatory in a dark place. 12" is as big and heavy as I can handle; I could never set up a 16" except with help, for one time, in an observatory. Otherwise, you might try to use it one time and give up. They are big, bulky, heavy machines. Thanks, Joe

Thanks Debbie, I was aware of that one too. The one I saw was in the 6K price range. Steve

the only 16" scope I know for sale down here in St George is a 16" Meade Lightbridge scope. Here it is on Astromart.

Hey, Utah Astronomers. A couple of weeks ago there was a 16" LX-200
listed
on KSL. Owned by someone in the St. George area. I know some of you may have seen it. Do you happen to know who had it for sale and how I might reach them? Not me, I'm not going back to SCT's but I just sold a scope to a fellow I know in California who is looking for a 16" but must be UHTC. I told him I would put out some feelers. Let me know if you know who it was will you?
