Dam mate, ive been thinking of upgrading to a 12in lx200 (i have a 12in lx90) the lx200 has better tracking and such for serious photography.
If i had the spare money at the moment i'd by it in a shot.

Bummer ,,,oh well.

Thanks Patrick :)

I'm sad to see it go - but it has to make way for the new mount and Tak FSQ. The wife has decreed a limit to the number of scopes in the house... :(

LOL!
