Combining the LEICA CL with a MEADE ETX 90 Beginner’s Telescope

Compactness of the LEICA CL with an APS-C sensor favors this camera to be combined with an equally compact beginners telescope, like the MEADE ETX 90 (a Maksutov-Cassegrain system). What is the resulting image quality for terrestrial and astrophotography? Or is it a mismatch? I share my experiences imaging craters on the moon, sun spots and the Orion nebula M42, an unexpected optical repair, and perspectives going forward.
Die Kompaktheit der LEICA CL mit dem APS-C Sensor lässt diese Kamera besonders geeignet erscheinen für die Kombination mit einem kompakten Anfängerteleskop, wie dem MEADE ETX 90 (ein Maksutov-Cassegrain System). Aber wie gut ist die erzielbare Bildqualität für Land - und Astrophotographie? Oder ist dies ein ungleiches Paar? Ich berichte über meine Erfahrungen zur Abbildung von Kratern auf dem Mond, Sonnenflecken und dem Orionnebel M42, aber auch über eine unerwartete Reparatur und weiterführende Perspektiven.

I’m thinking of getting an adapter too . I haven’t been using my 90 etx for 12 years now 😅. I have use my questar every now and then because the mechanic is very robust .

Hi, This is a very concise and informative video. I bought an used Meade ETX90 and Bogen tripod and video head for $50 from Facebook marketplace! The fork was broken but the optics are in pristine condition! I'd removed the fork and was wondering if I should use it as a spotting scope, but I'll consider your recommendations with the Iriin mount. Two weeks later, I also bought a second telescope, a Meade ETX125 Premier Ed with deluxe tripod a Meade SP 26mm Series 4000 eyepiece and Autostar controllerfor $150! A deal like those are very hard to beat, I guess! How did you removed the front lens mount on the ETX90? Mine has some dust for being left on a garage without the eyepiece cover. No big deal, but I want to clean it. Otherwise, the OTA looks almost new!
