Hi there Craig!


The mount that the ETX has (an Altitude / Azimuth or Alt-Az) is NOT really suitable for imaging - unless you are looking to image the Moon and the brighter planets.

While I certainly wouldn't recommend an ETX for long exposure imaging, people have gotten some nice results. More to the point, the mount CAN BE SET UP IN EQUATORIAL mode. The tripod used on the MCT ETXes includes a built-in wedge which can be used to polar align the scope.
