DEALER SPECIALS/SALES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS PAGE Last updated: 21 March 2008

It is easy for users to overlook specials/sales, and announcements that they might be interested in if they don't frequently visit many dealer web sites. So, as a service to both ETX users looking for specials/sales, and announcements, and to dealers offering such to ETX owners, I have started this "Dealer Specials/Sales and Announcements Page". Dealers (and only dealers) are welcome to email me with their specials/sales information and announcements. These should be restricted to items that current and prospective ETX and DS owners would be likely to purchase (ETX or DS models, accessories, cases, tripods, etc.). Please let me know when the information has expired so that the entry can be deleted. Info not from dealers will not be posted here (but may be posted on one of the Feedback pages). I hope this service is valuable to both dealers and buyers. Feedback welcome.

I just wanted to tell everyone out there unless they know already that
Woodland Hills Telescope and Camera and I believe other Meade suppliers
will follow that the ETX80, ETX90, and ETX125 have all been reduced in
price.

I have just received my ETX125 from Woodland Hills for the price of
$790.00 that included a 3 yr warranty (Normally it would sell for over
$999.00) I have been very happy with puchases from them,I have a LX90 I
bought previously and I am sold on the quality of Meade 'scopes and am
now trying to sell (2) Celestron telescopes I have had for several
years.

Thanks so very much for this great site that has helped so many.

Being ETX owners it was one of the scopes we designed POD around. This
week we fitted the first POD test domes panel and there are photos and
videos of an LX200 8" and a 90 mm ETX in POD on the website.

We've got about 5000 web visitors hits since announcing the videos etc.
yesterday. As usual the astro community is rallying around and
congratulatory messages to the POD Team are streaming in. I hope some of
those people are fellow ETX owners as we hope they'll love POD. We'll be
able to make about 100 PODs per week so no matter how many ETX owners
want one they won't be disappointed or have to wait long.

You can take POD on the road or leave it place for years. Trying doing
THAT with much more expensive observatories. Bonus - POD has many more
features they don't even have!

Please check out the videos etc. on the POD website and let me know what
you think. Check back often. We'll be posting dozens more during field
testing in the coming weeks.

Clear Skies!
