Mike, It just so happens I asked Bill Vorce of Telescope Warehouse, (He is the most knowledgeable person I know of on Meade 2130 tubes and mounts), this very...
Its safe to say that the accuracy will never be dead on, even with a highly tuned DS mount. You actualy seem to have a pretty good one. Forget about repairs...
... I would only have to agree with "the3dmaniac" in all aspects. All those "go to" mounts are just great for beginners and getting you close to the target. If...

I made a tool to adjust the Az clutch on my DS2090. When the scope fried I took it back to Costco. I figured I'd never need it again. But alas Costco has a big...

Can anyone suggest some nice eyepieces for a DS90? I've been looking at the Celestron #94303 kit. I am buying as a gift for my hubby. Will those eyepieces fit...
This Celestron # 94303 Kit contains 5 eyepieces 4mm, 6mm, 9mm, 15mm, and 32mm each of these is 1.25". Therefore, these should work in DS90 that uses 1.25"...
The 9 and 25 mm eyepieces are excellent. I would also get a 32mm (or 40mm) (roughly $50) for extra wide angle viewing. One must for any amature astronomer...
