Marty! Set the DeLorean for 1986! I just bought a Meade LX3 mount and re-forked my Meade 2080 LX3 OTA onto it. This rig was the hottest thing back in '86! I even have the hand controller, Dec motor and polar alignment scope / finder. I even have a Telrad mounted on this beauty! Looking forward to getting some clear skies... maybe... someday?

It fits! Pretty much.

October 20, 2025 — So how well does the Meade LXD75 6-inch achromat fit under the dome? Actually, pretty well! Shooting the sun this afternoon was (outside of seeing conditions) not bad. The scope is about four feet in length, not counting imaging and observing add-ons, and the objective end swings well inside the dome. Access to the eyepiece and camera was good. Not much room to get past the visual end, however, so we’ll see! Main thing is, it fits. Pretty much.
