I have owned the ETX 90 RA and was lucky enough to be able to trade it in for the EC when it first came out. I have loved this scope from day 1. There were...

It depends upon what you want in a telescope. I own one if the ETX90 RA (old) models. I did have to put a drop of epoxy on the brass spur gear, as it...
... Hello Everyone, According to the literature I have from Meade, the #128 barlow is intended for use with the ETX 60 and ETX 70, not the 90EC. -Walter ... ...

Hello. My name is Richard Turner. I am new to the group. Just purchased an ETX 125 with UHTC. Just as I feared, the scope was out of collimation. Upon...

If you are not worried about the $$$ then go for the 125. I have one on a 883 tripod and it's fine. The 884 would be better. I will see when I receive my new...
thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking the 125 is the way to go. Are you geting a new tripod or a whole new ETX? If you don't mind my asking, does yours have...

You could buy a Short Tube 80mm refractor for about the same price as a 40mm eyepiece. The short tube will give you a lot wider field of view than an ETX ever...
