Sale fell thru! 90mm ETX "PRICE REDUCTION"

Prospective Buyer couldn't persuade his wife to sell one of the kids!
OK last chance, I'll drop to $550 plus postage. If it doesn't sell at that it will become a guide scope on something larger!!!

So it tracks, right, but no goto?

Wonder if it would be useful to piggyback my 350D on for widefield stuff? How accurate is the tracking on these babies?

I'm sure registar could handle the field rotation.

Does it come with any tripod?

Tracks OK for visual work. Only has the three screw in legs to make the table tripod. Price now $500 ONO plus postage. It's a f 13.4 system so not ideal for wide field; better as a guide scope.

No serious buyers, so I'm going to keep the ETX and turn it into an objective for the spectroscope!!!! When I get the new movable slits from Surplus Shed I'll try it out!!!
