you're right, a close associate of Weasner named P. Clay Sherrod has said many times that out of ALL the telescopes he has seen in the all of the years of his life as an astronomer, the LX90 was the BEST OVERALL of every telescope ever made.

This is quite a huge honor to be giving to meade, and i definitely trust Dr. P. Clay Sherrod.

If you are unaware of who he is, he does the Arkansas observatory special supercharge for all telescopes.

This guy, Dr. Clay sherrod was a professional working astronomer his entire life and now hes retired. So to make some spare change he goes through your entire telescope and literally supercharges ALL of the working pieces. He cleans your telescope in and out and makes sure everything is working 100% properly.

He is one of the authorities on goto telescopes and astronomy, so when i see a person who knows the ins and outs of telescopes as well as this Dr. Clay does, I definitely believe him when he says:

"I still contend that the LX90 is the best telescope ever made by anyone."
