The LNT is a great tool in the ETX-125 PE. It makes the alignment in Alt/Az mode a snap. from Adorama.com For a GREAT portable scope, with good power and easy operation this is the scope to buy. While the directions aren't the best for getting the Auto Star to work, try Weasner's Mighty ETX web site for better directions. When calibrated right this scope hits the stars, planets, and other goodies with no problem. from Walmart.com The Meade ETX-125PE is a well built instrument. The optics are excellent. from Walmart.com The horizontal drive mechanism is stripped. If I could get my telescope repaired someplace else, I would. I am absolutely furious at the complete failure on the part of Meade's organization to honor their commitment to repair my ETX-125. They took my money over two months ago now and have done absolutely nothing in return for my $150. from Amazon.com Fantastic views of the moon (get a neutral density filter), Andromeda galaxy and major (magnitude 7 or less) Messier objects. - goto function on scope will allow you to see many sights in one night as opposed to spending a lot of time trying to find just one (OK, I'm a very amateur astronomer). - with proper (and periodic) calibration, the goto function is surprisingly accurate The cons: from Amazon.com while the directions aren't the best for getting the auto star to work, try weasner's mighty etx web site for better directions. from Walmart.com the bottom line: great scope for all stages of astronomy. from Shopping.com pros: small, light, great optics, easy to use, electronic goto, very portable from Shopping.com pros: small, light, great optics, easy to use, electronic goto, very portable cons: heavy on batteries, dew shield required, need more eyepieces, manual lacks detail the bottom line: if you from Shopping.com - goto function on scope will allow you to see many sights in one night as opposed to spending a lot of time trying to find just one (ok, i'm a very amateur astronomer). from Amazon.com
