Ah, yes -- the Meade LX200 "Go-to." Awesome telescope. Used one for about two
hours whilst on vacation at the Star Hill Inn near Las Vegas, New Mexico. With
the optional GPS module, you just input the M-catalogue number (or whatever
other stellar catalogue number you have), and, if the object's above the
horizon, the telescope simply slews to the correct location. No fuss, no muss.
Sure beats trying to slew the 'scope around manually on a cold winter night
wearing gloves.
