CeeJay Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I am thinking about buying a new 'scope and my eyes have lit upon a Meade ETX 80AT, has anyone any practical knowledge of this piece of apparatus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Ceejay - a tip I picked up here many moons ago (sorry !) was to google the name of the item you are interested in with the word 'review'. It usually produces some worthwhile results. (ie - 4 reviews on Amazon for the telescope you are interested in)What Mr RH has found is that the telescope he has is heavy to lug about and takes a little while to set up - what he intends doing now is purchasing a cover and when it looks promising, setting it all up, but take the actual scope of and leave the stand etc under the cover. Hopefully that should save some time.......Worth checking out the weight and portability IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeJay Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Thanks to both contributors for their replies. I have already done a search on 'Google' for reviews and also a search in the Forum, however what I was looking for was perhaps someone who has actually got one and their experience of it.
