Usage of these precision roller bearings in thetelescope's design permits the addition of substantial auxiliary equipmentwithout the risk of strain on the mount. Professional-Grade Fork Mount With 11" Gears The massive 16" LX600 forksystem, cast in one continuous piece from one declination housing to the other,includes a total of four 80mm roller bearings in declination (two in each housing)and two roller bearings in right ascension (one each of 100mm and 150mmbearings in the RA housing). Weighing in at Observatory-class, the 16 inch LX600 boasts features not available with the standard LX600 line.įiltered Cooling Fan To keep your telescope in thermal equilibrium the optical tube isequipped with a cooling fan as well as a filtered exhaust vent.

The AutoStar II control with 145,000 objects, then becomes available. Setting up the telescope at the beginning of an observing session is child's play - thanks the built-in GPS and Level North Technology, the computer can almost completely automatically align itself. That begins with their transport - the short SC OTAs are firmly seated in their own compact fork mount, and this can be split for easy transport ( split-fork). The LX600 series, with its advanced technology, really looks after astronomers who are on the move.
