Hello, got a ETX-90 in today and discovered the tube itself is a bit loose on one of the adapters that attaches to the fork

and there is something rattling around inside (like a bolt used to attach the tube to the pivot ;~) Does the ETX-90

disassemble similar to the instructions given for the EXT-70?

Thanks!

Spacecommander There are four screws (2 each side) holding the tube adapters to the telescope tube.

If the adapter is loose on the tube, perhaps the screw holes have been stripped. Check that. You might need

to use a slightly larger screw if that's the problem. Or the screws could just be loose.

So the fork arms come off just like the ext-70? Looks like the fork has to come off to access the

screws.

Spacecommander The screws holding the tube adapters to the OTA are accessible

without removing the fork arms. See the small photo near the bottom of my "My ETX-90EC

Experiences" on the Helpful Information: Buyer/New User Tips page. It shows where these

screws are with the ETX-90 still mounted.

Hello All,

Stupid Newbie question: I bought a telescope on E-Bay listed as a ETX-125AT. It arrived today in seemingly in good

shape despite awful packing, but it does not include an Astrostar #497 controller. It only includes the little "Electronic

Controller" with slew speed settings and arrow keys--no GoTo functions. I was under the impression that all of the "AT"

ETXs included the Autostar computer. Was my nice, new telescope misrepresented, or did I just get the AT thing wrong?

Thanks,

George
