I have a cloned Meade SCT. It is a 10 inch LX50 OTA mounted into a used LX200GPS fork and base. I piggyback three different telescope on it:

1. A Meade 90mm ETX
2. A Coronado Helios 1 Hydrogen Alpha Solar Telescope, once used by NASA
3. an Orion ED80 APO refractor (shown) for superb economical planetary views.
