ETX-90 Upgrade?

Posted By Tim Lemmon

Can an older ETX-90 have its base replaced with the newer hand/computer controlled base?

Thanks

Newtonian focuser

Posted By Tim Lemmon

Well, a couple that come to mind are...

Moonlight focusers:

and

Starlight Instruments Feathertouch:
http://www.astrofieds.com/docs/feathertouch.htm
(or just get one from http://www.buytelescopes.com/search.asp?q=feathertouch&s=2)


These are the high end of focusers. I know there are others out there that will work and are cheaper, but these are the to that I am familiar with.

I think they might be overkill for a 4 1/2" scope. Perhaps something to keep in mind when you jump up to an 8" or 10" scope project.
