Hi Dom, First of all, be very careful the symptoms you describe, let me think that your primary mirror is at risk ! It is very likely that you unscrew the...
I just want to make sure... Do the eyepieces for the older ETX 125 fit the new ETX 80 AT-TC? Some of you may remember that I was trying to decide last year...
Folks I have an ETX-125AT and after a day or so I found that my degree of movement was ca. 270 degrees - not a full turn. I took it back to the vendor and a...
Greetings! I placed my order for an ETX-125 AT last night, hope to receive it sometime next week. I also have a classic LX90 that I've used for 5 years now...
I am considering an ETX105 and want to use it occassionally for imaging with an SBIG ST-9E camera. How well will the telescope cope this type of camera (it's...
Well, folks, ScopeDriver has made it to the big "3.0." Thanks to the ETXAstro Group members who helped through the alpha and beta stages. All who are...
Hi; This really isn't a good match. While the 9 is fairly light, it's still too big and heavy for the little guy. And the drive, even with guiding probably ...
LOL - don't get me wrong, my 14" scope will be the mainstay of my imaging work - with the ST9 I might use the ETX for the odd drift scan Occultation (point...
The Autostar that runs the ETX-105 and similar scopes is not set up to run autoguiding directly (no port to plug in the guider input). You can get a system...
Hi: Almost any guiding program will easily guide through the ETX serial port on the handcontroller. Using webcams, DSIs, LPIs, etc. you can guide with K3CCD,...
Why don't you spend the same money for an LXD75 with a 6 inch schmidt newtonian F5? You get the same Autostar on a good GEM with ball bearings, worm gears,...
I had an LX90 8" and sold it (to get my SBIG ST-9E) because it just never got used. Why - too big, too much hassle. I figure the ETX is a nice simple setup. ...
The DSI II is available in both monochrome and one-shot color versions. Peace, Rod Mollise Author of: Choosing and Using a Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope and The...
I am an ETX125 owner for 5 years. During these years I did visual work. Now I am planning to move to CCD astrometry and photometry where most of people I ...
I was trying to update the software on my ETX 105 LNT Autostar Handset. This is something I've done a number of times with no problem. This time (possibly...

The DSI II is fine but limited to shorter exposures by lack of cooling on the CCD chip. The B&W model is more sensitive than the color one (no filters on the...
I decided to just use the simple, inexpensive LPI (Lunar/Planetary imager) to learn wth, so far, that has been a good approach. I am getting a feel for using...

Hi: Don't panic. There's a "safe load" procedure for just such mishaps. With power off, hold down Enter and the scroll Down key. Turn on power. You should then...

Hi: Well, the DSIs really aren't that limited by the lack of an active cooler. They will easily do five minute exposure no problem. NO, they will not be ...

thanks! All better now... I took it apart over the weekend. I really didn't need to, the focuser just unscrewed from the backplate. Nothing was ruined...
