>>Who needs a fancy newfangled quiet coffee grinder when the loud one still has some life left in her?
She appears to be tracking nicely! I’m going to guess it’s Meade LX200? Back 20-sometehing years ago I worked for Meade’s chief rival.
You got it, LX200 Classic, no fancy GPS, autostar, or “ACF” optics. I assume by the chief rival you mean Celestron? They seem to have fared better than Meade over the years. I still wouldn’t trade my LX200 for anything though. Just got a used SBIG and I may get a fancier wide field refractor for it at some point, but the base telescope it’s riding on will remain the same for as long as it lives.
