Astrolounge 10 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 the 12" LX200 is just to heavy to move anymore especially getting it on to a wedge on your own. so this is the new portable gear, G11 with Argo Navis, 8" reflector, W.O. Megrez 90 and ED100. imaging will be through the reflector and M90 and guided with the ED100 and Sbig ST-7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkSkyMan 10 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 Wow! That is a really effective looking setup. The base plate you've made up looks good. How do you find balancing it though? Brett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radar 648 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 G'day Mick, Setup looks awesome. What's the final weight with everything onboard? I like that aluminium plate you've made up. It's got me thinking about doing something like that for mine. Ray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astrolounge 10 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Brett, balancing is fine just needs to be fine tuned with different equipment attached. hi Ray, including cameras just over 24kg, the plates quite simple just 12mm plate and about $80 worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
