The size of the scope so much as it is the size of Mars (that is howĬlose it is to the Earth) and how still the atmosphere is when observingĪnd maybe most of all the experience of the observers eye. I have view Mars inĮverything from a 60mm department store scope to a 32" Newt. I have been in astronomy forĪbout 25 years and currently own a 10" SC. In reply to the messages on viewing Mars. Subject: Viewing Mars with the Meade 90 or any other scope Mike here: Only Meade knows when, or even if, a larger ETX model will ever be released. You've been invaluable to me as an ETX owner. I'm hoping for the new ETX 125/ec to be released and in stock in the With new models and by the weekend I will know which ones. I know that Natural Wonders is about to restock their stores They found outĪbout the 90/ec only after dealers called them and after customers askedĭealers. Not that it means anything.Īpparently, information works backwards to Meade reps. The dealer rep that I talked to had no idea if or when the Meade's dealer support ( I work for Natural Wonders) and this is what If there were new models of the ETX coming out. Like alot of autostar owners who have read their manuals, I too wondered Thanks to you and the other contributors to the site, With that and on that score I'll probably be seeking guidance. My next project is taking my Quickcam apart and seeing what I can do I'm sticking to this one for the foreseeableįuture and any change would be primarily for reasons of more aperture. That Meade had added electronics to the ETX surprises me little andīothers me not a jot. A solar filter allows me to get additional mileage I've improvised an enlargedįocussing wheel which helps a bit and a dewshield from a foam camping The finder and has made a huge difference. That I use a Manfrotto #144 tripod with#29 head and find that perfectlyĪdequate so long as it's not too breezy. I find it interesting to hear of others' setups so will quickly note The only problem was a broken finder crosshair which was So far I've had no problems with tracking and no teflon bits have fallen So little time and effort to set up and get going that it positively One of the critical factors for me is that it takes Starhopper for a couple of years before getting the ETX and found it anĮxcellent addition.
It meets my needs better than I could have hoped. Whilst the ETX has it's well documented imperfections and limitations, Not having owned a 'scope before I felt like I'dīe joining a club where help and advice would be available if needed. The other deciding factor was the veryĮxistence of your site.
I started visiting some months before finallyĭeciding to get this great 'scope on the basis of what I'd learned from Thought I'd celebrate my ETX's first birthday by writing to thank youįor a wonderful site. Please use an appropriate Subject Line on your message.
