The ETX-90 has been around in some form since 1996, gradually gaining more computer features as time goes on. With a Meade ETX-90AT, DS-2114ATS, DS-2130ATS, or larger telescope, the optionally available photo adapters can be used with most 35mm SLR camera bodies for terrestrial photography or for photography of the Moon and planets. Meade sets a new standard by providing user-friendly capabilities never before available in a low-cost telescope. The ETX90 observer has a Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design for accurate stellar imaging and outstanding contrast, making it a great deep sky interpreter and ideal for detailed lunar and planetary observing at high magnifications. Sky-WatcherвЂ™s 6вЂі Dobsonian or a used 8вЂі Dob would be a better choice, unless youвЂ™re looking for an ETX-125 Premiere, which can be easily identified (it has a nebula printed on the side of the tube instead of blue paint). For starters, this scope has 127mm aperture, which makes it powerful enough for users with a few years of experience who started with weaker models and want to upgrade. All of this makes the flip-up mirror a colossal waste of time, money and funds and is little more than a nice added gimmick that you can brag about to your friends who donвЂ™t have an ETX. There are certainly better options for astrophotography on the market, but in most cases, they are very specialized telescopes. A telescope from the reputable Celestron in a similar price range with a larger aperture and shorter focal length, making it a less specialized, but more complete telescope.
