hey guy ..... do you use the meade #883  tripod on your etx 90 ? if so
, any thoughts about how good it is or problems with it ?

have you ever tried taking a meade  computer hand control mount , like
the one in picture #3 , I posted on the alt.binaries.a51 site and
making it work with the etx-90 ?  like , somehow taking the  etx-90
tube off it's regular el / az mount and putting it on the autostar
mount in the picture ?

dunno if you have tried any of this stuff , but thought I'd  ask !

I got a aluminum case full of astronomy eyepieces and stuff with my
etx-90 and thought about trying it on some planets like the coming
near mars pass !  I've got a regular tripod adapter for the etx-90 but
it's not very stable for my tastes.  got those 3 short legs in the
softcase for the etx-90 but thought about getting something better or
adapting my autostar mount for it !  maybe you've got some
experience with this stuff ?
