Stretchin' the old ETX-125 muscles.....
      10/22/09 10:46 PM

First night out with the ETX-125 in a long time. Great views! A little difficulty with alignment, obviously in need of a motor calibration but good alignment nonetheless. Got Jupiter, Alberio, and M31 before the clouds rolled in.

You've just got to love the simplicity of this telescope!

I had to re-configure a power supply (AC supply) as I cannibalized my spare for dew straps on my LX200. It works fine, and now I can pull the ETX out for "quickies" anytime!
