Here is my old cat Pooh-zee, catching a little summer breeze!

I have six of those laying around and I'm darned if I can figure out where to plug in the controller. Forget about cleaning the optics.

Thats too easy... the controler plugs in under the tail, and the optics are between the ears.one stretches the tail and hind feet for the tripod. to clean the optics one holds a lightly damped plain Kleenex with windex mixed with water, to the optics, and sways a piece of catnip in front back and forth. the two forearms are manual slow motion.

there is one caveat though... one must wear leather gloves for this item to be operated or cleaned. :-)

I did post a picture of my Meade Lx200 binoviewer but I did something wrong I guess..
On top you see a 20x110 binoviewer (a lunt solar scope is also possible) with a 15 Lb couterweight.
I also ad a Optec filterwheel and focusser, 2 fans, one handelbar, and moved another.

I can see my post of my Meade LX 200 binoviewer after I submit the post, but from the main index/ homepage my post is not to be found (latest post is from 'Cavefrog' not from 'Garret').

Since my previous post didn't link the images properly, we'll try again now that the admins have fixed the issue. Enjoy!

One more time! The quotes in the links give the site a problem when it posts. The admins have tried a work-around.

this configuration (plus my daily driver changing from a large vehicle to a 4banger hatchback), prompted me to finally sell my 10" dob. The 8" Meade on Stellarvue M3 alt az mount, my preferred quick setup visual configuration. Last pic for now I promise, but if I find archived pics of my old 127 on one of my old computers, I may post.
