Thanks Dick - It was message #8380 here, but as I re-read it, there are no specifics. So I just *assumed* it was a firmware problem - my error (whew!). John Z...
... I think that reference was about the 1247 not mechanically -fitting- onto the LNT/PE scope, due to the reshaped back cover and the LNT being in the way. ...
After some thought I decided to sell my stargps. I just don't travel enough with the scope, and stellafane is the end of the week; I'll use the cash for some...
Alas, I recognize the signs of addiction. I can't seem to stop buying telescopes! And to play head games with myself, I now believe I can justify buying one...

I have a ETX125 with accessories including LPI & DSI for sale. It is in showroom condition & never been used outdoors & only used a half a dozen times. If...
Hey John, My name is Dom - We should start a group called telescopes anonymous! I have the same addiction... (the weather gets bad and you want to get...
LOL. Is this the way things are going to be for me? I've got an LX-90 and about about to take delivery of a SkyWatcher TravelStar 80. (My excuse is that it's...
Is there a visual advantage / disadvantage to purchasing better 1.25" diagonal for this scope and NOT using the standard flip mirror diagonal? Will it accept a...
Now, that's a poser. I am now the prowd owner of two scopes :-) The Meade LX-90 and a SkyWatcher StarTravel 80 (as of today!) I've just given my ST80 it's...
If you try to use a "normal" diagonal on the back of the ETX90, you'll need a visual back. When you put the visual back and the diagonal on the rear port of...
There is an extremely good reason NOT to do this: There is very little room between the back of the ETX and the base of the mount. I have a 125, but from the...
Thanks for the info... I've found two solutions - one from Shutan and one from ScopeStuff - both around $35.00. They are a one piece solution that does not...
I appreciate all of your thoughts and input on my dilemma. Here is the outcome: For the near future, I will keep the 102ED. And, I have ordered an ETX-90PE....

... buying telescopes! You're a piker!! I'm up to eight... no nine, SCT's at the moment, five ETXs, not counting the PE that I'm still "checking out" for the ...
Stay away from the Meade PE scopes - nothing but trouble.... Dead LNT, flip mirror glue not holding up, electrical problems with the drive - just stay away....
If you actually get a PE that works, please let us know - I have yet to see anyone with a PE that said it worked as expected out of the box. Hope you got the...
Guess I'm a masochist - or just love a challenge! My ETX 90PE is due to arrive on August 11, so we'll see what surprises await! Remember, what people say...
No, it is still not resolved. It took over 2 weeks for Astronomics to get Meade to authorize the return. Meade set it up for my home address without asking...
Gheesh Allen! What a horror tale! Just the hassle alone with UPS and shipping would send me off the deep end. I ordered my 90PE from Astronomics also, so I...
Allen, I feel your pain, and don't know if I would have the patience that you show. I am not "sticking up" for anyone and I have nothing to gain either way on...
... Normally I am not a litigious type, however this has "class action lawsuit" written all over it. There HAS to be an attorney on this list. Meade has been...
It is a certainty that there are attorneys on this list but being an attorney is only the first step. Unless a government agency or public service law firm...
... A few years ago two attorneys -did- sue Meade... For the misleading astrophotos on the ETX70's box. (their claim: you can't see -that- with the ETX70). I...
Just an FYI.... I just received a visual back from Scopetronix - $24.00 (plain with no internal lens system) for my DSX90 (same as ETX90). Works fine with ...
Were any of your scopes a Meade ETX PE model? Do you know even one person with one that had no trouble? I would feel much better if anyone could tell me that...
So Dick, do you know any of these people who got an ETX PE that "essentially" worked as per the manual? I am still waiting for someone, anyone to raise my...
