Nice scope you got there.
Sweet! I thought about going that route- I have seen some really affordable LX-200s on the used market- but I wanted something that I'd be more inclined to want to regularly schlep around, since building an observatory here isn't really practical. The ETX doesn't have that mighty aperture, but it does break down to where I could lug it on my motorcycle, if necessary.
Maybe we need an astronomy/astrophotography thread at some point. While even Meade admits that the ETX 90 EC isn't a great astrophotography platform, I just found a page where somebody sucessfully jimmied a pc golf-ball webcam onto one! LOL!
Good luck with that. Lots of fun....
