8" LX200GPS-SMT
 
From October 2004 until late in 2008 this was my primary instrument. In 2009 I upgraded to a 12" LX200ACF as I felt more and more often as if I had reached the limits of an 8-inch telescope. The scope has been a pleasure to use and has always performed flawlessly.
 
ETX-125EC
 
In 2001 I purchase my first 'real' telescope. Using this instrument I learned the basics of observing by starhopping, to later get to understand the GOTO system as well.
