More off-topic stuff today. Turns out that Meade’s been continuing development of the LX600 models while sorting the LX850 issues. They changed it to a removable optical tube! I hope to see the new version at NEAF next month.I guess this makes the LX600  T-shirt I picked up at NEAF last year obsolete…

UPDATE: Meade announced today that LX600 telescopes are currently shipping!
