So, I got myself a used Meade LX-90 with 8". Right away a transport box was needed with some nifty gadgets.
And the results were awesome!
Also the advantages over a MAK 125" ETX are clear and vivid - see for yourself at the end of the Video.
Check it out from 5:41
Also, HOW TO ALIGN and a basic overview on how to adjust the COLLIMATION. Although there are more professional videos out there regarding the collimation.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Clear nights to you all!

funny thing, after getting my meade etx 125, which i was following for 3 yrs, and got it last month, on the first couple of times i was using it, the music from your old etx video was looping in my mind, so thankful for your videos, without your info wouldnt have bought the etx, today i have 2 etx one is with normal remote, other with autostar, like i have 2 of everything now, i was thinking if i could attach both to make it a huge binoculars :)) im sure you would have thought about it if you have 2 of each.

I'm happy I found your video. I have the same LX90 8inch. I really liked your carry case with the fan. It was interesting to hear about Meade mine is 11yrs old. You can make a DIY a dew shield, dew heater, compression pads, weight balance system and improved levelling system.

What great video I have a little more info on setting up the scope. I am new to this and feeling excited about looking into the night sky. I have a ETX 125 but no controller and that makes things a bit difficult to use but i am looking for the correct controller but no luck yet. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of your videos. I live in Kasugai Japan good luck. Charlee Laine

Good afternoon, congratulations on your new telescope!) I am from Russia, I enjoy watching your videos, I have the same telescope as you have Meade etx 125. I would like to know if there will be videos with planets on the new telescope?)

Hi there, well I have a couple of Planet Videos from my ETX 125 already. So soon I will post Planet Videos from my new LX 90. I hear that August will be great this year to spot Jupiter and Saturn. 😀👍🏻

I looked at my ETX60 today and there's no place to put a vixen mount. You'd be better off with a maksutov 90mm like orion or celestron. They have great magnification.
