I finally received all the parts for the lx200 16". :)

I had to try it out so Monday night I set it up in my driveway. I was amazed
at how easy it's to setup compared to my 10" with a superwedge. The
only draw back is the OTA that weighs around 130lbs. Within about 15
minutes I had it setup and aligned.

First impressions of the scope are very positive. I wasn't able to do a lot, but
insure everything appeared to be working. This weekend I'll be taking it
to a dark site and will be able to give it a good test.
