Using Your ETX and LX90 Telescope
The Meade ETX Telescope is the largest selling telescope in the world. It is small and compact, and its Autostar computer control system makes finding and tracking objects in the night sky easy. The Meade LX90 telescope uses the same autostar controller and is very similar to operate.
Green Witch are pleased to offer a half day practical hands-on course which will cover the essentials of setting up and using the ETX and LX90 telescopes using the Autostar handset and common accessories. Refreshments will be provided.
The next course is on Saturday 28th January 2006 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Please contact us if you are interested.
