Ready to explore the heavens!!!
This is a picture of my ETX-125 all packed and ready to go to its new home :(Well, I did it! I sold my ETX-125 telescope to another person interested in Backyard Astronomy. I will miss my ETX, because celestial objects were sooooo easy to find and track with it.
But ... my interest in the hobby has changed to where I want to do more astrophotography than casual viewing.
My first goal is to photograph as many of the Messier Objects as one can see in the Northern Hemisphere. It will take time, persistence and patience, but that is half the fun.
I installed the motors and computer on the new telescope this weekend (Orion 80mm ED with SkyView Pro GOTO Mount), now I am waiting for the clouds to part so I can actually use the scope. I will let you all know how that goes.
Clear Skies!

P.S. - To the ETX-125's new owners: "It doesn't need a night light. My experience has been that it prefers the dark". (May you get the enjoyment out of the scope that I did, and did I ever enjoy it)

As one the ETX-125's new owners, I can say thank you for the opening up the sky to us.
We will be sure to take great care of the ETX-125 and allow it to continue to have the great outdoor life it has come to love and know.
Thank you!
