Mine's a Meade ETX60... any good?

[Brendan of Borg]

Hi y'all!

Is there a Meade telescope thread as I am interested in feedback on the above?

Apologies for wrong placement of this thread....

[Rusty Strings]

There are no specfic threads for any particular make of scope unless somebody starts one and you appear to have done just that, so I'm sure that those with the knowledge will chime in.

Small Wonder: The Meade ETX-60 AT - Review

here's a review

[The Warthog]

Some of the reviews on Excelsis gave it high marks for optical quality, but noted that it is, after all, a 60mm scope and many of the objects in its database were beyond the capability of the optics to show. It is good on the Moon and bright planets, and should show brighter DSOs and clusters very well.

So, within the limitations of its size, it appears to be a good scope.

I know that with my little 65mm Mak I can clearly see the rings of Saturn, and stuff like the Orion Nebula.

[Brendan of Borg]

Cheers for the reviews. I must say that I do like it and,as my first scope it is meeting my skill level... so far!!

PS My avatar picture was taken with my ETX! Kinda pleased at my astrophotogrophy attempt there!

Hey thanks for the warm welcome! It's right neighbourly of y'all! (Sorry but I am a bit of a John Wayne fan!)

Looking forward to times ahead in here!
