Which one is better for imaging? The Mead 10” LX200GPS or the Celestron Nexstar11” GPS and why?
Thanks

Hi, Bart.
That's another one with no clear answers.
Celestron advantages:
-Fork arms are stronger for less flex when on a wedge
-Fastar capability for deep sky
-Celestron's excellent focuser
-more room between the rear of the scope and the base for imaging hardware
Meade advantages
-mirror lock and microfocuser (these make up for the sloppy internal focuser and permit limited automatic focus)
-LPI compatibility for planets/Moon
