Ricky,

I have owned an LX10 for 18 months now and am extremely happy with it. It
is a very good scope for visual observation, but I have also been able to do
some good CCD work with it. Have a look at my website for images and a
review of the LX10.

I hope you enjoy your new scope, weather permitting!
