Telescope Reviews: Re: ETX 90 mounting rings???

Hi guys,

Similar query to Ken's above although I have an ETX-105 that has had RA drive problems from day 1 (it was a s/hand scope).

Planning to mount it on a NexStar SE mount to start with, then aiming for a GEM later on.

As Ken said, the mounting holes on the ETX are underneath which would mean that to EP/diagonal is at the 3pm position.

Apart from having a custom 'L' bracket made from a block of solid aluminium, are there any other ways of mounting it on my NexStar SE mount as the purchase of a GEM is some way off yet.

Cheers in advance,

Art

Meade ETX105 (a nice "Grab & Go" scope) & Celestron NexStar 6SE with Bob's Knobs.

Various EP's from 6mm to 26mm, Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Zoom, a 2x Barlow, 2" diagonal and 7Ah PowerTank.
MRF and Antares 8x50 RACI finder scope - both for the 6SE's OTA, whilst the ETX gets a plain RDF.

Canon EOS 400D DSLR (un-modded) and SPC900 webcam. Finally climbing the AP Learning Curve!
