Re: ETX 90 mounting rings???

Hi guys,

Similar query to Ken's above although I have an ETX-105 that has had RA drive problems from day 1 (it was a s/hand scope).

Planning to mount it on a NexStar SE mount to start with, then aiming for a GEM later on.

As Ken said, the mounting holes on the ETX are underneath which would mean that to EP/diagonal is at the 3pm position.

Apart from having a custom 'L' bracket made from a block of solid aluminium, are there any other ways of mounting it on my NexStar SE mount as the purchase of a GEM is some way off yet.

Cheers in advance,

Art
