Nikko Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi all, complete novice here. I've bought a Meade etx125ec second-hand and now need a tripod. Question: would a tripod supposedly for a Celestron Nexstar 130 SLT fit or be any use? (there's one going fairly cheap at the moment|) Thanks in advance and this may be my first post but it won't be my last......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steep Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I doubt it, the SLT tripod incorporates the base of the goto mount which would be different to the Meade mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E621Keith Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi Nikko, Welcome to SGL.Unfortunately astronomical tripods head are not standardised, often the tripod from the same manufacturer but different product lines will not fit each other.The only exception is the Vixen GPs, its clones and HEQ5, but that's it. Telescope House sells a tripod for ETX Meade Deluxe #884 ETX Tripod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
