I have a 12" LX200gps in my observatory but it is now only used for visual, and that is not often as I image about 99% of the time. I use a 7" & 9.25" for imaging on a pier next to the 12". But I also have a 12" Dob and use it in my driveway while I am running an imaging sequence in the observatory, at least on warm nights as I am a wimp anymore about the cold Overall a very informative poll. -------------------- 8" LX200gps AP1200GTO Mach1GTO FS-60C Tak E160 C9.25 SXV-H9 ST2000XM STV Meade 12" Lightbridge Moonlite Focusers www.doghouseastronomy.com Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Poll:If you own/use an observatory Snaproll 01/16/08 06:13 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory rwiederrich   01/21/08 06:12 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Snaproll   01/21/08 06:32 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Pedestal   01/22/08 05:49 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory rwiederrich   01/22/08 06:19 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Doug Culbertson   01/22/08 06:04 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Doug Culbertson   01/21/08 06:52 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory rwiederrich   01/22/08 11:11 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Snaproll   01/22/08 11:34 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory rwiederrich   01/22/08 01:21 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Kaizu   01/22/08 06:07 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory rwiederrich   01/22/08 06:24 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Chris Schroeder   01/23/08 01:41 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory rwiederrich   01/23/08 01:59 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Chris Schroeder   01/23/08 06:57 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory rwiederrich   01/23/08 07:33 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Doug Culbertson   01/22/08 04:26 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory rwiederrich   01/22/08 05:10 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory rwiederrich   01/21/08 06:46 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Snaproll   01/16/08 08:37 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Dubboy   01/21/08 03:06 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Pedestal   01/16/08 11:56 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Snaproll   01/17/08 09:28 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory ~Steph~   01/17/08 02:09 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory ~Steph~   01/17/08 02:13 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory MikeN202od   01/21/08 02:50 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Snaproll   01/17/08 02:32 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Chris Schroeder   01/17/08 08:34 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory DeanS   01/19/08 11:49 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Kaizu   01/19/08 02:29 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory o1d_dude   01/19/08 04:03 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory gilligan   01/21/08 11:36 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory MikeN202od   01/21/08 02:38 PM A couple of points about the questions MotorPsycho   02/22/08 07:09 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Telescopeman54   01/29/08 07:40 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory rwiederrich   01/30/08 10:50 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory BCB   01/17/08 04:52 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory HendyPhoto   01/17/08 10:15 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Scott Horstman   01/17/08 11:22 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Snaproll   01/17/08 11:29 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Rick Woods   02/21/08 07:29 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory RobVG   01/16/08 10:47 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory HendyPhoto   01/16/08 11:09 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Old Dinosaur   01/16/08 11:55 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Jim_Scott   02/03/08 09:18 PM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Old Dinosaur   02/04/08 08:37 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Rick Woods   02/21/08 07:40 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory Old Dinosaur   02/21/08 08:30 AM Re: Poll:If you own/use an observatory BluewaterObserva   02/18/08 04:43 PM Extra information 0 registered and 6 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
