Actually, I have this one, http://tinyurl.com/1hni (Except mine is the 80mm)
I am wondering if I should go with the ETX. The [Meade-ds] group is helpful
just each one (ETX-70 and DS-80) do things a little differently and each
have difficulty setting up. I hear the ETX in lunar mode is pretty hard...
It is too much and making my head spin.
Thank you,
Eric Vogel
