Got a nice Meade ETX-125 today! I could use some 1.25 eyepieces if anyone has something for sale. Need 10mm wide angle and barlow. Anything would help.

It is computerized, but has been cloudy every night for a week, but last night was able to manually point it and get a look at Jupiter and saw at least 3 of it's moons.  Could also see stripes on Jupiter.  Only have one eyepiece that is medium magnification.

Bought it from a guy that had it sitting in his living room for 5 years.  Got a great deal.

Peeping thru Rob's window, you'll need that 1900mm focal length to zoom in enough. ?

Sweet deal. And nice unit. Should get a lot of use and some good viewing if you in a decent area.

Take much time to set up and align? Out of town away from city lights is always best if you can.  Nice and dark...

I watched a video and read the manual.  Doesn't seem to difficult.  Has been too cloudy for over a week to set up and align.  Have only set up and pointed manually.

I don't have a fancy camera.  I do have a gopro, but doubt it is good enough.  Told my brother he could buy me a camera for Christmas if he likes though!

@Merlin,

Just some wise words for you my friend....

When talking to a guy, never utter the phrase "Nice Unit"...

That's like the old joke...

How to clear out a mens bathroom?

"Nice Dick!"...

?  :no
