I've recently bought an ETX ASTRO and have experienced a few problems. Therefore I was wondering if: a) Anyone would send me a dirty email. b) Send me some...
I downloaded Andrew Johansen's PEC editor from the Weasner site and tried to use it with the 32Ei patch and for some reason it doesn't see the autostar. Under...

... Have you run the PEC editor successfully before? Are you running windows XP, and, if so, are you running as a Limited User or with administrator privleges?...
... The problem is the lack of a COM1 port. ... The port component i use defaults to com1 on startup. Just prior to parsing all the ports, "to see whats...
Appreciate the responses. Alas, the telescope is about 4 months out of warranty so, taking into account the high repair charges here in the UK, I'll have to...
Sorry, I didn't see your original post on the loose mirror. I've never fixed one on a 125, but I've fixed them on an ETX60 and an ETX70. It's really very easy....
Dick and Andrew - I went ahead and succeeded in mapping my usb > RS232 port to COM 1 and the program worked fine. Thanks for isolating the problem. Mike...
Hello everybody! I would like to change a crappy finder on my ETX- 125. In order to to that I will need to drill a couple of holes in OTA to mount the finder's...
Drill??? Why not use double sided tape? Jason ... _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find. Check out the...

Hi... Due to a too-late-at-night typo, my posted v32ei patch kit had an error. Chris Carson of StarGPS spotted it, and i've posted a corrected version...
Funnily enough I did see that on the Weasner site and spent about five minutes attempting it before I lost patience with the thing on account of it being so...
mmmm...Is double sided tape wrong and stable enough? I doubt so...but i have to agree drilling is a drastic move. blame it on Meade for coming out with a ...
Depends on the finder. I have a rigel finder that came with some rather good sticky tape. The finder is also very light. Altogether, the combination works ...
Dick - If we use StarGPS (ver. 1.5) for the update, would the correct file be used, or does the file you mentioned here need to be used. I've already done it...
... I wasn't aware that Chris had posted the v32Ei update for implementing StarGPS yet (i know it's just about ready to go). If you used the buggy patch kit i...
Hello to everyone. I am a new member here and I am in the process of buying my first scope. I am considering the ETX-125 or the LX10. I was wondering, which...
No, you are correct Dick. I used (I believe) the previous patch prior to v32Ei. I'll be standing by for Chris to post it for StarGPS. Thanks again. Russ...
Just a thought, but if photography is not an intererst, you can get alot more viewing power for the dollar with a good Dob. Check out Meade, Orion, and ...
Another vote for the Rigel and sticky tape. You'll probably only use it once or twice per viewing session (when you're doing your alignment), so it doesn't...
I just acquired the scope, and found that it runs fast, real fast. About 4 to 5 time faster than normal. Has anybody had this problem, and if so what may be...
I will appreciate if any ETX-90 UHTC owners could offer me advise on the feasibility of using the Meade Series 4000 6.7mm Ultra Wide angle eyepiece for...
