Here are a couple of photos of the Meade Lightbridge 12″ telescope I received for my 30th birthday. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to take it to a dark site yet because of the bad weather we’ve experienced in northern California in the past couple of weeks. But with a few additional accessories — a few Televue Nagler and Panoptic eyepieces, an observer’s chair and a couple of filters — this rig should be pretty sweet. Cheers!
