Hi Everyone.
I have a Meade ETX-90EC + accessories to sell.
I bought it second hand about a month or two ago.
It is in excellent condition and the previous owner used it only for landscape viewing. However there is a slight problem with the telescope turning in the clockwise direction. With the standard controller sometimes it will slew on its own clockwise until you press the right button to stop it and sometimes it doesn't do it.
With the AutoStar controller which I upgraded to it doesn't do it but when you align it to the stars it gets the right angle but will keep slewing clockwise.
If anyone here is a wiz at electronics they should be able to find the problem and fix it easily. The telescope can still be used manually quite easily.
Since I already have my main telescope and have been interested in Solar telescopes for quite a while I thought I might as well sell this and put towards a solar scope.
What it comes with.
- Meade ETX-90EC telescope
- Custom tripod
- Solar filter (might be a Thousand Oakes, not sure however it's one of them fancy glass ones)
- SOLD
- Original hand controller
- AutoStar 497 controller (is a little bit damaged on the bottom right hand corner but can be taped up and works fine).
- 12v DC cord
- CraftRight storage case
- Meade power supply + cable to plug into a mains socket.
- SOLD
- 2 finderscopes (inc. with telescope)
I am looking to trade it for a Solar telescope such as this one:

If anyone wants to trade, trade + cash or cash for the telescope send me a PM.
Will upload photos later this evening.
