Hi all, I had to do a reset on my 125 and cannot remember how to turn off the sun warning at start up. If anyone has a better memory than mine I could use the...
Does anyone know if there is a way to mount the redesigned LNT . I have an ETX125 and the smartfinder lens snapped off (as I understand) a very common event. ...
Just my opinion, but if you're happy with the way the LNT works, you could always attach an aftermarket finder like a Telrad or Rigel. I use the Rigel and...
When my Smartfinder broke, about the 3rd or 4th time I used the telescope, I took the advice of one of the members of the Astronomy club my wife and I belong...
I was never able to use the smartfinder at all. The red dot moved all over the place when I tried to sight a star. If I moved my head the dot moved too. How...
Hi All After a fruitless phone call with Meade, 20 minutes of enya music and no real answers I come to you for help. I have an ETX 125 with a stock red dot LNT...
Hey guys, I am new to this group having just bought a secondhand 125PE as a travelling scope. The 12"LX200GPS is just tooooo heavy to tote to dark sky sites. ...
... I'll just bet that you had the ETX's power panel more or less on the -north- side of the scope. Spin the base so that the power panel is facing to the...
Hey, Dick. Fancy finding you hiding in here!! I always wondered what autostaretx was doing in the LX group. Well, the problem is fixed, but I did NOT have the...

... Based upon the phrase "happy bunny" (and the Rev L/R), are you per chance in the southern hemisphere? I've just run some tests with my Rev L/R -on-, and i...
Hey Dick. Thanks for the testing and suggestions. Fraid I'm not in the sunny southern hemisphere. Stuck in foggy old England. The scope is running v. 43Ea. The...
Dick, you are the man. I knew that you knew really. Many thanks for the digging around. I shall get it updated once I get my phone line back and can do a...

... and ... I was surprised that the last Autostar upgrade I did dropped the sun warning. How did Meade's lawyers ever let that happen?? Didn't make the wife...

OK! I knew I should never have attempted an update. For some stupid reason that is only known to technology, my laptop managed to 'update' my handbox from 43Ea...

Hello everybody, I've just joined the group to keep up to date with you other ETX owners and to see if anybody has fixed the following problem. The focus rod...
Mine tightens clockwise, loosens countercockwise. Mine comes off very easily (in fact, it was so loose I had to tighten it down!). I removed mine because I was...
Travis Thanks for the info. I had seen those pictures which made me think it wasn't too big a job, and everyone says it should easily unscrew so I guess I'll...
Yes, both the front cell and the rear cell have right hand threading. Aluminum can sort of weld itself together over time. I have a small Sears mallet with a...
Hi; I'm new to this group and I own a meade etx 105. I was wondering if anyone knows if you can mount the tube assembly of the etx onto a Skywatcher HEQ5 PRO...
The holes are for standard photographic tripod mounting (or anything with similar bolts). Probably the best way to mount it would be using an adapter plate...
