Pages: 1 MikeMS member Reged: 05/23/11 I have only gone and purchased one - ETX 90       #5548787 - 12/01/12 01:20 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   All. I have never owned a ETX before, although I have repaired two ETX 125s. Well no more, I won one on the UK ebay site and for just over $150 (£111 what ever that is) I now own a very clean ETX 90 with a single speed ra motor. It came with the MA 25 and MA 9 eyepieces, 8X21 finderscope and the three legs to tilt it. It will not tilt to the angle here, but I will make a wedge for it. I will post a picture tomorrow. Oh, and a quick look through it shows a very nice set of optics. Kind regards, Mike MS.

I am a big fan of the ETX 90RA. I've owned and used one for years. I put together some thoughts on how to use them at http://bas-astro.com/blog/ if you get a chance to check them out. Tongue in Cheek but the scope is a serious instrument. Get one of those neat little blue bags, a red light, and a couple of star charts and your good to go. Give us a report and some pix when you can. I attached a photo of mine with a friend's Ethos. Hard to tell which is which. Fred Post Extras:       Pages: 1
