The focuser deal has been out there for quite some time. $10.00 for shipping is a little steep though.
I kick myself every other day for not getting in on the etx125 deal.

With the strength of the UK£ vs the US$, at the moment, I would love to get one of these focusers, even including shipping it would be a great deal.

I'm not sold on the merits of electric focuser for the ETX, to be quite honest. This one, as I understand it, is only for the 90's and 105s.
I have one installed on the ETX-90PE and though it is somewhat convenient, even at its slowest focus setting I have trouble sometimes getting in just right. After switching EPs, say from low to higher power, I often have trouble finding the focus at all, particularly if I've been interrupted by something and can't remember if I was going to focus in or out.
I've actually be thinking of taking it off and going back to focusing with my fingertips. I love the sharp views of the ETX-90, and I don't think I'm getting them in focus with the electric focuser. Just my thoughts on the subject.

Try Telescopes.Com. They have the 1244 listed on their site at $39.95 US/80% off and will ship outside of the US (at least to Canada not sure about the UK).

Now the question is - how can the 1244 be modified to fit a ETX-125? I know it is possible as there is someone on E-Bay selling them modified. Has anyone out there done this? And if so, can they please share!

Rainbow,
Sorry on that! I am in the same boat in Canada on purchases directly from Meade.
