The LX-200 represents one of the most economical GO-TO systems in the current marketplace. Its limited carrying capacity and difficulty in maintaining accessory balance limits the options to simple piggyback cameras and small light weight refractors. I'm sure that many LX-200 owners have looked longingly at many of the HI-TECH telescope tubes on the market today, and wished that there was a way of mounting these telescopes on the LX-200 FORK MOUNTING SYSTEM. NOW THERE IS A WAY.
THE ACORN HOLLOW SADDLE SYSTEM
 |
 |
| The BASIC SADDLE system is designed for the users who do not feel comfortable with MAJOR mechanical changes. The SADDLE will handle OTA's with up to 10" diameter tubes. And weighting no more than the original scope, which is around 35 lbs. | The DELUXE SADDLE system is designed as a PERMANENT change to the MOUNT requiring a simple change to NEW DEC AXIS ASSEMBLIES. In addition this saddle system will accommodate the Original 10" tube with full interchangablity. |
