Last night was great with the ETX125PE, The goto was right on. My list of objects: Jupiter, M13. M22, M15. M27, M2, M17, M92, and M11. Very good night for me! No clouds but a few stray lights.

Cool, and good for you Kev! It's great to hear folks enjoy their Meade CATs, especially for a variety of objects (planetary as well as DSO.)

Man, here in TN I haven't had the opportunity to observe in almost a month because of clouds. I sure wish I had a full goto like that ETX, great scope in small package, sounds like you had a great night.

Here's to plenty more, and clear skies. Hope you have the opportunity to get away from those stray lights during the Illinois Dark Skies Star Party on Oct 15-18.

When I first got the scope, I was not sure what I was looking at. I have since printed out pictures and info on the "TOUR" for that night. Sure helps out.
John, last couple of days we had clouds also, spent time with my wife.
The Star Party is about 60 miles from me, might have to swing down.
