INITIAL CHECKOUT

Fit and finish are great, just like the LX200GPS models I’ve owned. I see no cosmetic

flaws and everything that must be assembled went together fine except the

finderscope holder; a little paint on the dovetail kept it from going into the base until I

scraped it a bit. I really, really like the new tripod. I see that there are no accessory

mounting holes at the top center of the optical tube, meaning that I won’t be able to

add a guidescope using hardware lying around here. That may hold me back a bit

later in evaluating its imaging potential. I don’t know whether dedicated hardware is

available yet for this model. There are tapped accessory holes that would accept

radius blocks such as are supplied with Losmandy dovetails so I presume that if those

aren’t yet available they soon will be.

Applying power from my jumpstart battery, everything came up just as it should.

Running the focuser back and forth I noticed that it seemed fairly loud at high speed. I

suspect it won’t be used at high speed very much, though. Digging through the menus I

found the dew heater and OTA fan under “Utilities”; that seems an odd place but now I

know where they are. Unlike the 7” Meade Maks, which use two fans, this model uses

only one, which draws filtered air into the rear of the tube and exhausts it out the front.

Slewing around a bit, it the drive motors sounded similar to the LX200GPS (as

expected).

I did my usual indoor alignment; I pointed the optical tube North and the control panel
