Need visual back for ETX 90 new
      #3374782 - 10/06/09 03:11 PM

I've removed my 90 from its fork mount and use it on a UA MicroStar. Works great but I'd like to use the rear port on the scope with a conventional star diagonal. Does anyone know where to get a visual back that will screw into the rear port of an ETX90 and will accept 1.25" EPs?

I've been told that CNC in Fla has them but it appears that CNC may be just a reincarnation of Scopetronix which imploded and caused many problems. Your experiences??

Hmmm, I bought mine years ago from Apogee, so you might try Optics Planet now for those. Tried Googling it and didn't come up with any others that are currently available in the US, but Astro Engineering offers them on their UK website. You might try Weasner's Mighty ETX site for other current vendors.

Got a source for you. It is a machine shop in FL that makes a large number of adapters. They make a number of items for ETX scopes. One of the items is a Visual Back for the ETX-90,105,125. It costs $29.95 + $5.00 priority shipping.

Goto the link, scroll down the left side until you come to ETX accessories, click on that and go through the ETX items.

Enjoy, Bill
