   hey guy ..... do you use the meade #883  tripod on your etx 90 ? if so   
   , any thoughts about how good it is or problems with it ?   
      
   have you ever tried taking a meade  computer hand control mount , like   
   the one in picture #3 , I posted on the alt.binaries.a51 site and   
   making it work with the etx-90 ?  like , somehow taking the  etx-90   
   tube off it's regular el / az mount and putting it on the autostar   
   mount in the picture ?   
      
   dunno if you have tried any of this stuff , but thought I'd  ask !   
      
   I got a aluminum case full of astronomy eyepieces and stuff with my   
   etx-90 and thought about trying it on some planets like the coming   
   near mars pass !  I've got a regular tripod adapter for the etx-90 but   
   it's not very stable for my tastes.  got those 3 short legs in the   
   softcase for the etx-90 but thought about getting something better or   
   adapting my autostar mount for it !  maybe you've got some   
   experience with this stuff ?
