Meade LX600 with Tripod - ordered from Agena
Pros: Cons: Comments:I am very satisfied with the delivery of my new LX600. From my order, it arrived surprisingly promptly, delivered by truck on a pallet. No shipping damage which I was very happy to see. I had no trouble assembling the scope and was observing the next night. Nothing was missing in the Meade packaging. I also ordered the micro-focuser and a few more items which I highly recommend. Its been a wonderful experience :)
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? YesThis review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
