I own an ETX-90EC, and have always been put off by the ridiculous price of Meade's hardshell ETX carrying case ($100 for the "90", and it can't even hold the scope with a right-angle viewfinder installed, a ridiculous design flaw, if you ask me). Their soft case is cheaper ($...
All of the more advanced Meade telescopes including their ETX-90 EC, ETX-125 EC, LX90, LX200, and other models, are manufactured at the Meade Irvine factory. Smaller telescopes, such as Models DS-60 EC, DS-70 EC, and DS-114 EC, are manufactured under exclusive license to Meade designs...
The one that had any issue was my ETX-90/EC and Meade Support helped me through getting the firmware updated which fixed my issue. I've also contacted for some other questions in the past and they were always responsive. With Orion, I bought a set of the aluminium "mag" focus wheels ...

...and at the same price point. One of my treasures is an ETX-105... the middle child of the ETX line. I have also enjoyed the backpack versions of the ETX. They make really nice grab'n go scopes and we usually bring one with us on vacation. I scored one of the backpacks and...

Currently I own an LX65 I picked up used 2 years ago. I've used it with ST80,ED80,ETX90 tube, Orion 120achro. I currently am in the works of deforking a C8 to put on it. Being in this hobby for over 35 years starting of in college courses with exposure to the trifecta of...
