Looking at our old price lists, the first time the LX90 appears in print as a for-sale item is June of 2000. The first time the LX90LNT shows up is January of 2005. The LX90GPS first shows up in May of 2006. The LX90ACF first appears in March of 2008.
Those are our best guesstimates of the dates. Take those dates with a grain of salt, however, as some price lists may be missing, which would cause those dates to be off. The different scope versions were all probably announced a few months before those dates, and may have shown up online a little earlier than those dates as well, but those are the first times we showed them in print as being available for sale.

I have the LX90-ACF 10". It is a phenomenal scope for observing -- worth every penny in that regard. But I would not recommend it for AP, at all. The goto is very accurate at locating objects. But the tracking is weak. They are hard to balance and they do not have an ST-4 compatible port for auto-guiding. An LX200 with wedge is whole different story. That is great platform for photography.
