Matchless diffraction-limited optics: Sky
& Telescope described ETX-90 optics as
"excellent... stellar diffraction patterns were
virtually textbook-perfect... the Cassini Division in
Saturn's
rings popped into view despite the rings' low tilt...
Epsilon Lyrae's component stars were cleanly split...
the Moon was beautiful at any magnification, with
black shadows contrasting sharply with illuminated
features along the terminator... the mechanics of the
optical tube assembly are also first rate."
A long listing of standard-equipment features
including rigid fork mounts; dual-axis drive systems
with
high-torque DC motors on both telescope axes; cordless
field operation from eight (user-supplied) AA-
batteries that power the telescope for more than 20
hours of normal usage; and internal flip-mirror
system for observing or imaging from either the 90°
or straight-through positions.
