Great site just added to my favorites when I can find some time to thoroughly check it out.

My scope is a 12" LX200. Pretty big to carry around especially with the Super Wedge pictured on the photo above. The 10" Meade LX200 is great as well and can be had for a deal on the used market. A good friend of mine sold his for $900 on Craig's list and he had all kinds of eyepieces that went with the scope.

The new LX400 is even better but you are talking multiple thousands and I don't want to even think about what I paid for mine when it was new.
