Check out Mike Weasner's Mighty ETX site. It is a great resource for anyone that owns an ETX with an enormous amount of information. There are also a number of special topics like mount or tripods that others have built for their ETX. Many of these include photos. It is also a good source for the kind of info you are asking for.
