Hi

I bought my grandson a ETX125 a couple of months ago after the ETX70 (only a toy) broke. It is a little hard to get aligned for a beginner because of its narrow field of view but once this is done it works great. Goto's are excellent.

My grandson is absolutely hooked on astronomy now. He is now a proud member of the ASNSW. We have taken it up to Crago a few time now and we can see DSO's there that I can't see from my observatory with a 12" SCT. He can't wait for a trip to the really dark sky at Wiruna in December.

Barry
