Eyepieces: For higher and lower
magnifications with the ETX-90AT, -105AT,
and -125AT, Meade Super Plössl
and Super Wide Angle Eyepieces, as well
as the Series 4000 8mm to 24mm Zoom
Eyepiece, yield extremely high-resolution
imaging. A useful selection includes
the SP9.7mm, SP12.4mm, and SWA18mm;
Ultra Wide 4.7mm and 6.7mm eyepieces
are well suited for high power observing
of the Moon and planets. Meade Plössl
4mm, 5mm, and 6mm eyepieces (lower photo
at left) permit higher powers with the
ETX-70AT; the wide-angle WA18mm eyepiece
is ideal for scanning star fields or
for terrestrial applications with the
ETX-70AT. |
Power Adapters and Cords: In addition to their internal battery packs ETX-90AT, ETX-105AT, and ETX-125AT telescopes may be powered from 115v AC home electricity with the #541 AC Adapter (not shown). The #541 plugs into any standard home outlet and includes a 25 ft. cord connecting to the telescope's control panel; input voltage to the telescope is 12v DC. Alternately, either telescope may be powered in the field from an automobile cigarette lighter plug by using the #607 Power Cord (shown), a 25 ft. cord which plugs into the telescope's control panel and supplies 12v DC directly from the car battery.

#825 and #827 8 x 25mm Right-Angle
Viewfinders: Included as standard-equipment
on the ETX-105AT and ETX-125AT, the
8 x 25mm Right-Angle Viewfinder permits
a comfortable 90° viewing position
with 70mm and 90mm ETX models as well.
The finder's wide-angle 7.5° actual
field facilitates object-location. Precise
focusing of the image is accomplished
with a helicoid mechanism. #825: for
ETX-90AT; fits into the same bracket
as the 8 x 21mm finder supplied with
the telescope. #827: for ETX-70AT; includes
required mounting bracket. |
AstroFinder Software/Connector Cable
Kit: With Meade AstroFinder software
loaded into your PC, Autostar-equipped
ETX telescopes may be remotely controlled
from the PC display. For ETX-70AT order
with #506 Connector Cable Set; for all
other ETX models order with #505 Connector
Cable Set. |

#126 2x Barlow Lens: An amplifying
lens, the multi-coated #126 2x Barlow
(arrow) doubles the powers of all eyepieces
with which it is used. Insert the Barlow
into the telescope's eyepiece holder
first, followed by an eyepiece. The
#126 is intended for astronomical applications.
Use with any ETX model. |
USB to RS-232 Bridge Cable: The
Bridge Cable permits connection of any
Meade telescope's RS-232 serial interface
to a PC's USB port. The sequence of
connection is: telescope/RS-232 port
+ #505 or #506 Connector Cable (above)
+ USB Bridge Cable + PC. Driver software
is included on a CD-ROM; in effect this
driver software creates a virtual serial
port within the PC. The driver software
is compatible with Windows 98, ME, 2000,
and XP. |

#64 and #64ST T-Adapters: The
basic means of photography through any
ETX Astro Telescope or Spotting Scope,
the T-Adapter threads to the rear cell
of the telescope, followed by a T-mount
appropriate to the user's brand of 35mm
camera. In this way the camera body
is rigidly coupled to the telescope's
optical system, which in effect becomes
the camera's lens. #64: for ETX-90AT,
-105AT, -125AT. #64ST: for ETX-70AT.
|
Hard Carry Cases: For secure
portability of ETX Astro Telescope models
in the field, Meade Hard Carry Cases
are fully lined with fitted foam inserts
and accept the complete ETX telescope,
plus optional accessories. #773: for
ETX-70AT; #774: for ETX-90AT; #775: for ETX-125AT.

45° Erecting Prisms: All
ETX models include an internal flat
mirror to reflect light to the telescope's
90° astronomical observing position;
in this position the telescope's image
is upright, but reversed. For terrestrial
observing the 45° Erecting Prism
results in a correctly oriented image
and a convenient 45° observing angle.
#932: for ETX-90AT, -105AT, -125AT.
#933: for ETX-70AT. |
Soft Carry Bags: Meade soft-padded
carry bags are well-suited to travel
with the ETX-90AT or the ETX-90 Spotting
Scope. Each carry bag includes a shoulder
strap and permits ready transport of
the complete telescope, including accessories.
#765: for ETX-90AT; #766: for ETX-90
Spotting Scope. |
|
|
|
Dew Shields: Each dew shield
(arrow) threads into the front lens
cell and effectively inhibits the formation
of dew on the lens surface. #670: for
ETX-70AT; #673: for ETX-90AT; #678: for ETX-125AT.
