I hate to write and bother you again but I just like the advice,
especially from someone who has owned one. Since you don't like the
127ed, for obvious reasons, would you recommend a lx200 8 or 10 inch?
The 10 inch is heavy and I being only 15 and under 110 pounds it is
impossible even though I die for that extra room for the off-axis
guider. I guess I could get a 8 inch? Could I put the 10 on a
losmandy gm-8? Have you heard or seen it? Do you have a F/6.3 or 10?
Which do you prefer?


Thanks for your time

I have the 10" LX-200 F/10. The optics are excellent in this scope!
The GM-8 may not handle a 10" SCT-OTA Very well. It should handle a 8" SCT
OTA pretty good.
If You want GO-TO, the 8" LX-200 Maybe the way to go.

My buddy bought the 5" ED from me, He has a C-8 he put on the LXD-600
Mount. It works very well. It also might handle a 10" SCT-OTA as well!

BTW. I prefer f/10 over f/6.3 any day.
