if you use a 10 second shutter delay (on a dslr) the vibration should stop enough to get a clear pic.
I'm going to sell my Meade LDX55, which aside from the optics is a piece of junk, and I'm not exagerrating. Meade caught hell for its spindly tripod and a dangerously unstable & badly-designed mount with a hilariously underpowered GOTO drive. Considering buying a used C10NGT.
