Meade has created the LX65 line up as a competitor for the NexStar Series of Celestron. It could have been a good spectacle if Meade didn’t screw up the production.
Although Meade LX65 6″ has firm basics, the build quality of the mount is unreliable. It occasionally breaks down, the aux ports are reversed in some models, and to make things even worse, the customer service is unresponsive.
As a result, Meade LX65 6″ is not recommended. It is not a “poor buy”, but you would be better off with a NexStar 6SE.
