Well folks,
My ETX 90 is on the way. I purchased it from a member of CN. I already have an LPI and so I will begin my journey into Astrophotography. I have no idea what I'm doing and I'll have to learn the autostar suite software, but it should be a fun summer. Once I get the moon and planets figured out I'll get an imager better suited for DS objects.
Clear Skies,
matty

Congratulations Matty. I am sure you will really enjoy the ETX90. Especially since the AutoStar software that came with your LPI, will let you remotely control the scope by computer.
I wish you many Clear and Happy Nights with the ETX90.

matty, you will enjoy the ETX90..........just read about the HOME position, and the goto setup that needs to be done.......and TRAIN the drives, and CALIBRATE motors. Home position is very important as you can BREAK the gears if it runs into the hard stop! So read the manual before the scope arrives;......you can download one for the ETX90 on the Meade website.
