Tim Ray of Telescope Stability Systems has announced that his company has entered
into a management agreement with Richard Harris, owner of the websites LXD55.com
and LXC75.com, to enhance and expand the product offerings and services provided
through the two websites.

This merger is a strategic move for LXD55.com and LXD75.com as it provides
new facilities and support to its customers in the areas of HyperTune telescope
tune-ups and related products and services.

“Over the last eight years, we have seen tremendous growth and interest
in the products and services offered on our website,” said Harris. “With
the popularity and longevity of the LXD55, LXD75 and other GEM telescopes we have
seen our customer base grow as customers want to get the greatest possible performance
from these scopes.”

Hypertuning is one of the most popular services offered through the two websites.
The process takes telescopes that are not performing to their optimum potential
and tunes them to improve GOTO slews as well as tracking when doing astrophotography.

“We now see over 100,000 unique visitors to each website annually, a
testament to the popularity of these scopes, and the interest owners have in getting
the most out of their equipment,” said Harris. Harris is also the owner
of ScopeTrader.com and will continue to offer that service to the astronomical
community.

Telescope Stability Systems was established last year to offer telescope repair
as well as the manufacture of astronomical equipment. TSS’s current product
and service lines include telescope mounting products and optical tube assembly
support systems. Its high-quality and functional products range from its ultra-stable
telescope tripods, to its non-marring dovetail saddles and dovetail systems and
accessories. Its StableMax Tripods utilize the unique MountMate adapter system
which allows it to connect to a variety of telescope mountings allowing TSS StableMax
Tripods maximum versatility with existing and future telescope mountings.

“Our goal at Telescope Stability Systems is to provide even faster service
with the same level of expertise and quality that the HyperTune name has provided
to thousands of customers,” said Ray. “We are excited to be serving
the community under the HyperTune name and through the LXD websites, and they
are dedicated to expanding the service even further.”
