The ETX-90EC Astro offers extraordinaryoptics at an affordable price. It combines a high-resolution opticaldesign and diffraction-limited imaging with microprocessor-controlled,precise celestial-object tracking, all in a nicely styled, highlyportable package. Improvements to this model include a new forkmount with dual-axis drive system. The ETX-90EC also includes hightorque DC motors on both telescope axes, permitting electronicoperation from the hand-held controller. This push-button electroniccontroller has four dual-axis drive speeds: slow, 8x for imagecentering at high power; medium, 32x for image centering at lowerpower or for pushbutton tracking in altazimuth mode; moderate, 0.75degrees per second for image centering in the viewfinder or forterrestrial tracking; and fast, 5 degrees per second for fast scanningacross the sky. The Meade ETX-90EC is specially designed to beportable and used in the field. It offers cordless operation, allowingyou to use the telescope's dual-axis drive system for more than 40hours on eight AA batteries. At approximately 8 pounds and 15 inchesin length, it packs a lot of power into a compact unit. TheETX-90EC uses a 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design, and Meadeactually warranties the optics of the ETX-90EC "to equal or exceed theoptical performance and resolution of any Maksutov optics of similaraperture ever manufactured at any price." The ETX-Series optics offersuperb contrast, image brightness, and resolution; Meade claims thetelescope consistently outperforms many instruments of largerapertures. Meade also uses EMC super multicoatings on all opticalsurfaces to maximize light transmission through the corrector lens andreflectance from the primary and secondary mirrors. The flip-mirrorsystem allows for 90-degree observation of land and sky objects,straight-through observation using the optional #932 45-degreeErecting Prism, or photo-ready imaging using the optional #64T-Adapter and your own 35mm camera. Overall, the Meade ETX-90EC isa fine piece of craftsmanship at a surprisingly affordable price. Forthose of us who spent our childhood peering through old-style consumertelescopes, using the ETX-90EC is like getting time in the PalomarObservatory. From shifting cloud belts on Saturn to the glowingfilaments of the Orion Nebula, this instrument lets you observe theheavens in extraordinary detail. ## Features - Cordless motor drive for fully automatic tracking - Equatorial fork mount - Flip-mirror system - Maksutov meniscus corrector lens of Grade-A BK7 optical glass - Includes a Meade Series 4000 Super Plvssl 26 millimeter eyepiece for 48 times magnification ## Images ![Meade ETX90EC Telescope w/Electronic Controller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aUReGmmQL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you see the rings of Saturn** A: Yes **Q: I have a Nikon D5000 digital camera can i take pictures with this telescope with proper adapters** A: Yes. Here's the link to one of the first pictures I tried with mine (a pre-controller version, about 10 years old) http://www.oquin.com/images/FullMoon.jpg **Q: Can I Control the Scope with my computer** A: Yes if you have the 497 Autostar computerized hand controller. You will need also an interface cable from RJ12 to RS232 serial port. Or from RJ12 to USB, depending on your computer ports. **Q: Does the tripod for this etx tscope use the same 1/4" bolt as camera tripods? are tscope tripods interchangeable from model to model and co to co?** A: Mine Does, but it's a pre-controller version, about 10 years old. The telescope weighs enough to strain many lightweight tripods, however. You should have a tripod rated strong enough to support a minimum of 15 pounds. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must have Telescope for people new to astromony *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2002* I've had my telescope for over six months and wouldn't trade it for anything. This is a great telescope and it is very crispt in the viewing of stars and planets. I love it and for the money it can't be beat. If you are new to astronomy you need this scope. I saw Saturn a few nights ago and saw the rings very clearly. I brought a dew shield and two more eyepieces for it and they helped make the scope even more fantastic. I got a 18 mm wide and 13.3 mm super wide Meade eyepieces. You will also need autostar for a tour of all that is in the sky at night. You can see 14,ooo objects and hundreds more if you download them from the internet with an adapter which cost a few extra dollars more. I bought a deluxe field Meade tripod. You need this one because it keeps the image that you are looking at stable. This is the best telescope you can buy for the money and the best type too. I love my ETX-90 EC and plan on keeping it for the rest of my days of viewing the universe. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars the most uninspiring garbage *by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2014* Just saying this review comes from an average guy who just simply wanted to see cool celestial bodies with detail. (Meaning, that you're going to have to know all about eyepieces focal lengths so 50mm equals this and 25mm equals that and blah blah blah. How inspiring for our young astronomers, huh?) okay so one, it takes like forever to calibrate. (I don't calibrate it anymore when I use it) Two, after giving up trying to calibrate, I had to manually find a bright star and focus on it. Then I realized that I needed to take out more money ($190) from the piggy bank and buy the eyepieces to ACTUALLY see distant bodies. (actually the moon is the ONLY thing you can see with the default eyepiece) I tried to look at a Jupiter (big and bright so I can't miss out on detail here) with all the new six different eyepieces and guess what guys? It looks like a white dot BUT CLOSER. (The same case with ALL other objects) I made a lot of research on my telescope but I guess you gotta have an ph in astronomy and be almighty smart to understand telescopes. But boy am I glad I spent all that money just to see a white dot wow I feel accomplished. Unless you're dedicated and want to go to your local autonomy club — hahahah *ahem* sorry — Save your money and buy binoculars instead cause I can gaureentee that it will not work better but will definitely save you some time and money if you wanna see upclose white dots and little of the moon. ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth the Money *by D***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2016* Not sure why antone would pay what is being asked.The ETX 125 is 700 bucks with much more light gathering power but still suffers deep design flaws.The 125's central obstruction with light baffle is 40%, clearly violating the 25% rule with maks.I suppose if one can find it cheap enough, it would make a OK guide scope. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/74114571-meade-etx90ec-telescope-w-electronic-controller](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/74114571-meade-etx90ec-telescope-w-electronic-controller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
