ETX Site Logo

In September 1996 I purchased a Meade ETX Astro Telescope. I soon discovered that there was not a lot of information available on the Web regarding the ETX so at the end of that month I put up a web page with some personal comments and photos. Since that initial web page over 11 years ago (!), this site has grown dramatically with contributions from ETX and DS users worldwide. ETX and DS user comments, technical tips, accessory reviews, or links to other ETX and DS web sites are greatly appreciated. Please send them to Mike Weasner. Accessory reviews should include the accessory name, the manufacturer, model, price, and a description. For accessory reviews or technical tips, including a digital photo is helpful. Astrophotos taken with the ETX or DS models can also be sent and will be posted on the Guest Astrophotography Gallery or the Helpful Information - Astrophotography pages. Thanks for your help. OPT

NOTES: I am not a Meade dealer nor a dealer for any accessories.
Material that is older than January 1999 may be specific to the original ETX (now known as the ETX-90RA or ETX Astro Model M). Check for applicability to your model telescope.
The Apple iPhone button at the left links to "The Apple Phone Show", a highly rated and valuable site on the Apple iPhone. I have created a modified ETX Site Home Page for better display on the iPhone. You can get to that page by browsing to "http://www.weasner.com/etx/iPhone.html" and then bookmarking that page on your iPhone.

Details on the December 2007 theft of my LXD75-8"SC and most of my observing and astrophotography accessories are available on my "LXD75 Theft Page".
