All I want for Christmas is a 10 inch Meade LX200R Telescope :)
Yep, I’m an astronomy buff. I’ve been looking to buy a new scope for a while now, but it has proved to be a difficult decision. I’m pretty sure this is the one I’m going to go with though. It’s big enough to see some friggen crazy stuff, yet light enough (only 90lbs, heh) to pack into my cars trunk to travel out of the city. Which is absolutly required if you live in a big city.

For those of you just getting started in Astronomy, be sure to check out CloudyNights.com’s Forum. It’s an excellent spot too get advice, learn about scopes, and see some incredible amateur photo’s, like the ones below which were taken with a 10″ LX200 and a 12″ RCX400. Both Scopes that I am looking at.
