Buy ETX 90 or ETX 105
My 105 sounds like a quietish coffee grinder on max speed, but is much
better at lower speeds. Almost inaudible when tracking... Les (with ear defenders).

I am surprised to see how controlled the costs of Meades are. There seems to be practically no variation on the web sites at least... Cheers, Les. Don't think the OFT hasn't noticed.

does UHTC make a real difference ?
"Les" wrote in message om... James, I'm sure you've thought of this, but check the ETX you get has UHTC. My 105 came with UHTC at no extra cost, although I have read on some sites that these coatings are available at extra cost... I got mine from Telescope House; it arrived in two days with free postage. I am surprised to see how controlled the costs of Meades are. There seems to be practically no variation on the web sites at least... Cheers, Les.

Buy ETX 90 or ETX 105
I wonder what the law is on this. I was actually told by a
dealer this week that Meade fix the retail prices. In the hi-fi world also one will see kit from Nad at the same price in all outlets, unless the item is ex-display etc. Frankly if Meade can sell an ETX-90 with eyepieces for £ 700 and normally this would cost £ 1300 - and they can sustain the offer - then they must make some killing normally. I suspect that the price charged for Goto and now GPS has long since exceeded the costs to them by a long way. Note to self: Starting to rant.... I'll stop there. - James "Tenex" wrote in message ...

Les,
I think all come with UHTC now, don't they? Whether or not I'll check before buying. Thanks, James "Les" wrote in message om...
