Moon pics taken using the scope:





The scopes and accesories are in mint condition both optically and cosmetically. This scope has provided all that I can ask for -- except that it can't grow a couple extra inches in aperture! ;-)

Accept shipping to overseas, let me know your zip code so I can calculate the s/h cost for you.

Pls PM me if you're interested.

cheers,
Arief

Welcome to the etx90 club, Val!

hi fellas...don't forget to update your particulars into the equipment database as well as a photo of you and your scope! congrats to Val for joining the ETX club...he definitely have a great time with it as long as he is not infected by the aperture bug (worse than bird flu or sars!)...

Thanks for the invite.

Can't agree more. A very good and compact performer.
If you don't need the tracking mode (akward position at our latitude anyway as can be seen from Arief's setup picture), you can consider removing the fork mount and mounting the OTA on a Manfrotto 410 head + 190 tripod like what I did. Makes it much more compact and you can carry the OTA and accessories easily in a video camcorder bag...

Thanks Rich.

Excellent ideas. Any advice where I can get the above head & tripod? What is the price?

Thanks
