In September 1996, I purchased a Meade ETX Astro Telescope. I soon discovered that there was not a lot of ETX information available online at that time, 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 12 years ago, this ETX Site has grown dramatically with contributions from users worldwide. ETX and DS user comments, articles, astrophotography, technical tips, accessory reviews, and links to other ETX and DS web sites continue to be greatly appreciated. Please follow the Submittal Guidelines. Thanks. iPhone ETX Site link Click the iPhone for a mobile version of the ETX Site from Google.

    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.
