Meade 10 inch LX2000acf
First of all, let me admit that I am a dimwit and didn't know a lot of common star names when I first got the scope. I was always a planet guy and never worried much about constellations other than Orion and Ursa Major. When this thing goes auto setup, it can ask you for things like Alpheratz and Ha...

10" LX-200 not meeting expectations
The telescope seems to be poorly made, the threads for the wedge are messed up, the tripod has a large central hump that prevents good mounting, and it doesn't self align like it is supposed to. When I contacted Meade they give me the runaround like they are hoping to burn up the 30 day waiting per...

Poorly made
I had one 10 inch Meade SCT. The drive had considerable backlash, the hand control wires shortened out there were imperfections in the corrector lens and the threads were poorly machined. I called Meade and got a run around and a very nasty person who had no knowledge or training on how to address my complaints. In the 80s I was a technical sales consultant for Meade and back then the telescopes were amazing I am saddened on how many short cuts the company has taken in the production of their telescopes to make more profit. I ended up selling it for half of what I paid for it. I know have Celestron and they are much better telescopes.
Would recommend: No

Heavier than you can imagine
After resolving my earlier quality issues with Meade, I'm finding that it has great views and optics; however, the telescope is just to heavy to use single handedly. At 90 lbs, it is way too heavy for a normal person to lift and transport. This is a two man telescope or better yet, an observatory model. It is almost twice the weight do an 8" LX-90.
Pros: Great views
Cons: Much heavier than a person can lift

Good Aperature, Precision suitable for astrophotography
This is a very nice scope. Meade is well know for it's optics and perfomance. On wedge guide can get good PE of around 1-2 arc second with PEC on and Autoguide. It have a large mirror, great light bucket for deep space object. For planets not bad either. I like using this scope while sitting on chair comfortably. Great buy
Pros: Great Contrast, Shart Star till the edge
Cons: On heavy side
