Had a recent visit from our
Meade friend and VP of Sales, Greg Bragg, and he is going to get one of those new
Meade ETX-LS telescope coming our way, so Bob and I can actually put an
ETX-LS telescope through its paces and post a hands-on ETX-LS review. That ssumes, of course, that we will get at least one clear nigth before the end of summer. Ha! Really looking forward, though, to see if the ETX-LS lives up to its billing as far as its automatic, do-everything computer alignment. Personally, I am more interested in the new 6" optical tube, since that has always been a favorite size of mine, but I know it is the computer that will make the ETX-LS a success or not. Greg also assures me that Meade has been busy upgrading all parts of their operation in response to requests from customers, so we'll see. The world of amateur astronomy needs that old Meade
telescope versus Celestron telescope rivalry and I have no doubt that Celestron is planning a counterattack as we speak. Long may both companies be with us.
