Rebuilding an Obsession 25" using modern day techniques and hardware.

It's not as hard as you think!

Easy as pie!!

Go to your happy place... this is one good telescope.

Want a quicker, easier way to mount/dismount your TeleVue refractor on a Telepod/Gibraltar head? Read on.

The Ideal Travel Scope?

More than an eyepiece, it comes with a story!

This is the final part of my three part review devoted to the ETX-LS. It focuses on the computerized mount and how it performed over a series of observing sessions. I conclude with my final thoughts on using the Meade ETX-LS.
