My baader solar film arrived yesterday.  Lo and behold.. Rain.  So no night OR day observing :)  During the week is fine.. but rain over a long weekend is a real bummer.  

Tal, let me know how you like your new LX200 GPS. I've heard good things about them.  I have a 10" LX200 classic. I'm curious if the goto and gears are better (probably are).  The classic sounds like a loud coffee grinder. Hopefully they quieted things down a bit with the GPS.  The new nexstar-type hand controller appears much better than the old.. mine has a nice rattle to it (loose something or other inside). It works, so

 

I woudn't expect much difference in sound. I have an LX90 and have had it next to the latest 10" LX200's and I can tell you that the LX200 is much louder than my 8". I suspect it's just the difference in gear size between the two. The 10" is a lot bulkier than my 8". Much more than I expected. I've heard that they work great, so the noise is worth the distraction.

 

Dave

i'm counting my blessings.

Tal:

Order several more!!! We can use the rain. (Sorry to those that want to look
at the heavens - but sometimes there are more important issues!).
