EDITORIAL INFORMATION

More than any other telescope, the Meade ETX has revolutioned amateur astronomy. Since it was introduced in 1996 it has become the standard by which others are judged, combining low price with optical excellence, a solid mounting, and - with the introduction of the EC models - computerized "GO TO" facilities. The smallest ETX is a refractor, just 60mm aperture. The largest is a 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain. What can you really see with these little telescopes? Californian amateur Mike Weasner explains how to get the very best out of an ETX, what to expect, and even how to photograph what you can see. This book also contains a vast number of valuable hints and tips from ETX users around the world.
