If anyone is interested, Walmart is once again selling the little wonder, the ETX-60. The price is $200 and you have to go to their web site to find a store...
That is a lot higher than the $50 price last time. And the store employees kept them in the back, out of customers' sight. When I asked, I was told all were...
Yep, that price should be a deal breaker for most folks...an Orion StarBlast is somewhat cheaper. Peace, Rod Mollise Author of Choosing and Using a Schmidt...
That was not my experience. They were displayed outside of the optics department and were approx $150. After the holidays, the price went down but I never saw...
I am surprised to see that the local Walmarts (all of which have carried Christmas scopes in the past; some Bushnell/Tasco, some Meade) are completely bare...
I've said and posted this before but I enjoy talking about the ETX-60. The ETX-60 is a pure joy. There is no question that the Andromeda Galaxy only shows up...
Just an FYI... Costco is selling the DS2090 which is a 90mm refractor with their Generation 2 mount (has built in clock / calandar with battery backup), red...
I've still got and still love my li'l 60 about six years down the line. I was amazed what the little critter showed me one August night from the top of Mt....
It's not on their website - the two stores here in St. Louis each have 24 of them. Call your local store and ask what they have from Meade.  Warp ... From:...
Great Pictorial.... I need to divert a shipment of those LXD75 mounts to my home. Can you spell "replacement parts:?  Warp ... From: George Cushing...
The LNT module of the -90PE and -125PE is the weakest component on the telescope and limits easy transport (the LNT module looks like it will easily snap off)....
A very interesting question. To expand upon that question, My 125PE is one of the earliest models with the LNT module sitting right on top of the OTA. The...
I have the 90PE with the fragile LNT module (large plastic dot reflector). I purchased a Sears rolling toolbox/cart for it and placed the original plastic...
Only had one of these early PEs apart. On the 125 the cable runs under the cover on top of the rear housing and down through a notch in the right Alt saddle....
That hidden connector is 4-wire (the leveling and signaling portions of the LNT are powered by the telescope's main battery). The LNT module is in PARALLEL...
Does any one know if it is possible to override Autostar's star selection during Easy Alignment? After the LNT module finds north, level, and tilt it...
Hello Bob, If I remember, when the scope point a star you can't have in your eyepiece (because of obstruction), you can ask him to select another one by using...
That's correct, the up or down SCROLL keys (lower left and right corners of the Autostar #497 and Autostar II) select different stars of the alignment list. ...
I asked the question incorrectly. I meant "Automatic Alignment" not "Easy ... For everybodies information, I just tried to do an automatic alignment trying to...
... The "down" scroll key should advance you to the next choice (of about ten) that the Autostar is willing to offer. It makes its choice from (roughly) stars...
Thanks Dick. I know that it advances it but does not identify which star until it slews there. A patch that combines manual operation with LNT would be great. ...
... I don't have the time right now to -test- this, but i think if you apply my current patch option to kill the Brightest Star message, it will show the name...
