Meade ETX-90AT, ETX-105AT, and ETX-125AT models build on the original ETX concept to create the most advanced electronically-controlled telescopes including automatic GO TO object-location with the Autostar Computer Controller ever produced in their price range. And yet without sacrificing any of the user-friendly features that started the ETX revolution. Optical Systems: Manufactured at the Meade Irvine, California, facility, ETX Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes produce superlative, diffraction-limited optical performance and resolution. Optics so high in contrast, image brightness, and resolution that ETX-90AT, ETX-105AT, and ETX-125AT models often outperform many telescopes of larger apertures. Fork Mounts with Standard-Equipment Dual-Axis Drive System and #497 Autostar Controller: The rigid fork mountings of ETX Maksutov-Cassegrain models include high-torque DC motors on both telescope axes, permitting electronic operation from the standard-equipment Autostar controller.

Introducing the SmartStar-A R80 Dual Alt-Azimuth and German Equatorial Computerized Mount. Designed with the latest technology the 80 mm lens is crafted with a fluorite based, low dispersion glass that is ground and polished to exact specifications. The precision design is excellent for viewing bright stars, planets and their moons, as well as for bird watching and other land objects. Two eye pieces come standard to allow for flexibility in viewing either a wider field or a single focused object. The mount — a.k.a. the Cube, rated 4-star by Sky and Telescope Magazine is one of the most functional and flexible units on the market. Both axis motors are built into a small single unit which is universally compatible with all telescopes using a dove-tail connection. In addition, it has built-in GPS for automatic location inputs. And at only 12 lbs. you can take it anywhere and get accurate tracking! The GoToNova hand Controller on each SmartStar is easy to use with menus for planets, star

2/8/200615-19-33…The ETX70AT is my favorite of all the low-cost computerized telescopes, because of its compact body and also because it is so easy to use. The ETX70AT package includes everything a beginner needs to get started (except batteries). So what can you see, exactly, with this little telescope? It will show you craters on the Moon, the rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter. Take it with you to dark country skies and the little ETX70AT will even show you galaxies and reveal the Milky Way as a brilliant river of stars. I found the low power views with the included MA25mm eyepiece, about 14X magnification, to be sharper from edge to edge than my 15X70 binoculars. Wide-field, low-power views allow you to take in the full picture of bright star clusters like the Pleiades. The Pleiades are known as the Seven Sisters because sharp eyed people can often see seven or eight stars with the naked eye, and though I’ve only ever been able to make out six, with the ETX70 on a good cle

The Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG MACRO Telephoto zoom interchangeable lens for Canon AF with excellent cost performance and optimized for use with digital SLR cameras. Capable of macro photography, this lens has a 1:2 maximum close-up magnification at the 300mm focal length. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass. They used SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass in this lens for excellent correction of chromatic aberration. This also corrects for fluctuation of aberration due to focusing. The new multi layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance. Macro shooting with maximum magnification 1:2. The minimum focusing distance is 1.5 m/59 inches at all zoom settings. It also has a switch for changeover to macro photography at focal lengths between 200mm and 300mm with a maximum close-up magnification from 1:2.9 to 1:2. Enjoy all of the benefits of this lens, plus you get the following brand new items: All Manufacture’s
Question by Scissorhead: How Do I get good insect macro’s with my sigma zoom lens?
Do I need a macro lens to get good macro shots? Iv got the sigma 70-300mm lens on my canon 1000D. Can I zoom in too get close up pictures of insects etc.. ?
Best answer:
Answer by casperskitty You can shoot insects with a zoom lens. Just keep in mind that they aren’t going to have the look of a macro shot. In a macro shot you can often see tiny details in insects, like the proboscis of a butterfly, but you don’t get that kind of magnification with a zoom lens. Still, I have seem some amazing shots done with zoom lenses so just get out there and try. Just remember to use a fast enough shutter speed when using a long telephoto so that you don’t get camera shake.

The typical dobsonian telescope owner upgrades it by adding various finder scopes to help aim the telescope. In addition to a 2 inch premium eyepiece mine has a green laser pointer, a Telrad, a 50mm finder scope, and a Meade red dot scope. All of this additional weight on the front end of the telescope makes it want to nose dive, so counter weighting at the other end is the proper solution.
Robert Thompson’s book called "Astronomy Hacks" suggests an innovative solution – magnets. At various flea markets I have bought old worn out speakers for next to nothing, and taken them apart just to salvage the magnet.
