Pros: High Quality Optics, Very Portable, Can add "GOTO" capability, Fairly easy to use Cons: Needs Lots of add-ons in order to fulfill it's potential The Bottom Line: If you want to learn the night sky and have some cash to apply to the cause, you can't go wrong with the ETX. from Shopping.com Pros: High Quality Optics, Very Portable, Can add "GOTO" capability, Fairly easy to use Cons: Needs Lots of add-ons in order to fulfill it's potential The Bottom Line: If you want to learn the night sky and have some cash to apply to the cause, you can't go wrong with the ETX. from Shopping.com The ETX90 will likely not disappoint those who have never looked through a telescope before. It provides serviceable views of the moon and five of the planets. from Amazon.com I am the president of a large (300 members) astronomy club in Columbus, Ohio and have looked through thousands of telescopes in my life- including, perhaps, 20 Meade ETX-90s. I find the views of the planets and the moon through the ETX-90 to be consistently good- though not overwhelming. from Amazon.com (...).

The telescope is excellent for amateur astronomers like me, who dont know the names of every visible star in the sky. The resolution and quality of the picture you get when you look at the sky are just astounding.

I just gotta say that this telescope was worth ALL the money, I dont regret anything about buying this fine piece of equipment.

Creds to meade for the excellent quality of this product!!

from Amazon.com There is a great section on how to spot "TRASH SCOPES". There are also good sections on eye pieces. THE ETC-90EC is definitely not a TRASH Scope!

This scope outperforms Many in its price range. It may not present views of the planets as large as a 6" Dobsonian but you will be able to see and Find the planets if you are a novice.

from Amazon.com The ETX 90 is one of the best thing to hit telesopes in a long time. At a great price you can have a telescope like this. from Amazon.com I recently purchased an EXT-90EC and I was impressed with its smooth look and design. But I was disapointed to find out that the eyepiece that is included is only a 26mm which allows you to see 48x. from Amazon.com I recently purchased this scope and I am pleased with it.

It's a great terresterial scope as well as a very good astro scope.

I would recommend these accessories. lenses - 9.7 Super Plossal, 15 Super Plossal, 2x Barlow, 6.7 UWA auto focuser, field tripod, polarizing filter (look at full moon with contrast), auto-controller is great too.

Buy yourself at least a simple star chart so that you can find the right star to align it by and remember that that 26mm Super Lense (comes with scope)isn't parfocal with any others.

from Amazon.com There is no substitute for ETX 90EC, simply is the hotest and user firendly telescope ever built!.. Of course you need to buy many more eyepieces but thats true in all the telescopes any size, any price!... from Amazon.com
