After
a long pause in astronomy, during I worked on my observatory
project,
I decided to "restart" to stargazing.
We are at the beginning of 2004. At this time I haven't
a clear vision of the size of my future telescope. Sometime
I'm looking for a 10" SCT or a 12" maybe
more. I'm just sure that this king of telescope can't
give me the quality of deep sky photos I see on the web.
A paradox?. Not at all, in fact I already know I'll use
this telescope for visual observing and studding
astronomical objects needed power and magnification
and I'll purchase a smaller telescope to produce beautiful
pictures.
After several months of searching I finally decided to
purchasing a
Meade LX200 GPS 12".
With Internet you can easily know the price of
a product all around the world within few clicks. I quickly
saw the difference between the European and the USA
prices. With the money needed for a 12" in
France I can easily buy a 14" in the United
States.
At this time my interest turn to a 14". But:
- first of all, this size of telescope is
huge and will be difficult to move.
- secondly, what's about the warranty?.
For the size, thank to Yahoo! Groups and their members
I rapidly had the size and the weigh of the beast (I
still waiting for Meade company…). For the warranty
the problem was solve rapidly too. In the case of problem
I must return the scope to the United States in my charge.
Nevertheless those difficulties I decided to purchase
it in the
American ground.
