Hi all

just waiting for my first ever scope to arrive its a meade etx90pe

So i maybe/will be asking a few questions/advice to get best out of it and explore.

Got a bit of experience with dslr photography and lenses, but the combinations with these things baffles the hell out of me

Welcome on board!

The ETX scopes are pretty good "learning" platforms and you should be able to image the moon and the brighter planets...when the time comes!!

Hi Colin, Welcome to SGL, When you get your mitts on your scope, practise with it in the daytime, and get used to it, it will save you lots of snarling at it when it's dark.(And clear, I remember that)!

Hello

You'll love the ETX, great fun. My humble ETX 70 has given me years of pleasure, Just got a 90mm Maksutov myself and love it. Amazing lunar and planetary views.
