Go to "Country Hotel", you'll see it has its own observatory built in.

Do you think i could take my Meade LX200 on a plane

Brendan Hughes

You don't need to, you use theirs

Judging by your lack of observation you'd be lucky to find tha airport.

"An area is available, just beside the observatory, for amateur astronomers to set up their own equipment"

ETX105 owner checking in. Yes you can take them on planes, but expect to take an extra 20 mins to get through security as they will want to xray it and have a good look around. You will need a hard carry case though and I would only take it on as cabin luggage, not sure how big the LX200 is but the ETX will fit on the carry on size type bag IYSWIM.

OK, well that translates as 'outside' to those of us with a brain. Also the supplied telescope is a... ready for it...?.....bum bum bum Meade LX200 14". So lets all go to a hotel with a telescope and special observatory, yet bring exactly the same telescope and stand outside with it lol. and right back at ya

Why am I arguing about this?, go **** yourself
