Location: Winnipeg, MB		I am not new to this cosmic play ground, but I have been away from it for a number of years.

I am hoping that I could get some info on the Meade 12" LX 90 and the Celestron 11 GPS XLT.

I guess I am looking for a comparrison between the too, or is this apples to oranges

Visually its a tie. The 12" Meade is a bit under mounted on the LX 90 mount though.

Location: Mandeville, LA USA 30.38 X 90.07		Welcome to Andy's and as an aside, my wife is from Winnipeg. Ron speaks the truth. Not much difference as far as optical performance is concerned. I like Celestron's hand controller a bit more, but you'd be happy with either. The most comfortable viewing is a fork mounted SC!

Welcome Mitch! Just fyi - I had an opportunity to attend the monthly RASC Winnipeg meeting at the U of M in January and they are a very friendly bunch of folks who seem to have a lot of fun. http://winnipeg.rasc.ca/

Location: Winnipeg, MB		Thank-you for the warm welcomes and I do appreciate the input to my query.

As I said I'm not new to this hobby but one can not know everything, and the knowledge that seems to flow through this site is impressive

So once again thank-you and clear skies. Oh and Winnipeg does rock!
