I had to fist fight my wife to let go of the money for the LX10 I got
yesterday (and she won! I got the money as a conciliation prize). Damn, I'm
impressed that I now own a telescope with a motor. The only thing I had that
had a motor and looked you through before this was the windshield of my car.

It was easy to assemble, although all manuals to anything you have to put
together are deficient in most respects. The only thing that caused even a
minor problem was switching the RA motor to run on 4 AA batteries instead of
a 9 volt. The hex screws are tiny and two of the heads striped out during
the process because they were installed very tight. A screw extractor was
the solution to get the cover off. But, I believe a different style of screw
will be a better choice for future cover plate removals (as periodically
batteries will be required).

I still have not been able to take it out. The old adage seems true, new
equipment = bad weather.

So, I know there are other people out there with LX10's. Speak up!

Clear Skies!

Ricky
