Can this be used in conjunction with a Meade ETX-90 series telescope that's equipped with an Autostar system?

I have a Meade ETX70 with Autostar. I find the included alignment system to be too time consuming. The SkyScout does a pretty decent job in locating my objects of interest. I then point the telescope to that area and fine tune the location until I have it centered. For the price I find it to be a worthwhile investment.

I only use it to find stars I want to view from my telescope. This is not a scope finder for your telescope.

i'm not sure that it will. the optical tube of a 90mm refractor may be more weight than the lcm can handle (its also got a longer moment arm length than the 80mm refractor tube model). the Astromaster 90mm tube has a built in fixed dovetail mount, but it is short and not at the perfect balance point for the tube. balance is pretty important for the goto mounts, or it will have difficulty tracking or even possibly wear out gears. also, the dovetail on the Astromaster tube is BDC, and the LCM mount is at 90 degrees from BDC.....so the focus knobs will be off by 90 degrees as well.....so focusing will be more difficult. again, i think that its not gonna work imho

I don't see why not. I use mine all the time with my Orion 130ST. The Barlow lens should work on pretty much any reflector or refractor for that matter. It slips into the eyepiece socket on the scope and then your regular eyepiece fits into the Barlow. It does make the lens stand out from the scope another inch, but just rotate the scope on its mount to get a comfortable view. BTW, I've been so impressed with this lens that I also ordered a 5X Barlow to see if I can really bring Saturn in. Good viewing and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Yes, but you need a Nikon adapter ring. These are called t-mount adapters, and are available through almost all camera and telescope outlets, including Amazon. Cost is usually $7 to $10.

Yes, but you must use a swing away camera mount. You can not couple the camera ring to the eyepiece

It should work with any telescope that accepts 1.25" eyepieces. However, a diagonal such as this is almost always *included* with the telescope, so unless you lost yours, there's no need to buy one.

I have used it on the C8 and Meade 12, SCTs, and it works great with a 2x barlow on these scopes. I do not have a 3x. As far as the AstroMaster, I think the barlow would be too much power, JMO. I would try it with the zoom alone and see how it resolves at the lower fl range. I've had mixed results with the lower focal lengths on this ep. Of course, the higher seem better. I use this mainly as an indicator of the seeing conditions and the best fl for the object I'm observing. Then I usually change to that dedicated ep that fits the condition. It's hard to get a multipurpose ep to perform as well as a dedicated fixed fl one. However, again it does work pretty well on the higher fl. Hope that helps. WEK.

i don't see why not... Just make sure that your telescope fits the 1.25" lens.

As long as it has a 1/4" mounting screw on the bottom of the camera, then it will work. The camera sits on the platform and the clamp goes around the eyepiece of your telescope.

I don't know anything about your particular telescope, but we have it on a Celestron Powerseeker 80EQ and it works great. Maybe you could look up the specs of ours and see if it would work with yours.

With an adapter of some kind you should be able to, but because of the added weight you will have to balance the telescope again with the camera attached. To use a DSLR you would need a T-Adapter and T-Ring I think. For a normal digital camera with a tripod mounting hole you can use something like a SteadyPix mount, but it is quite heavy and combined with the weight of the camera may be a bit too much for the focuser on the telescope. Also, this scope is a "slow" F/10.1, so it may not be ideal for astrophotography, but I have taken some pics with my phone attached to it and they aren't horrible, but they aren't anything special either (except to me, haha) With an adapter of some kind you should be able to, but because of the added weight you will have to balance the telescope again with the camera attached.

The way it is, no. You'll have to add a 3rd party accessory. If this is your primary intention, prefer to buy a telescope.

I suppose if the telescope had the same dimensions to the eyepiece that the microscope does, that it might work. There could be a problem with available light unless you were using the telescope in bright daylight. Doesn't cost anything but time to try.

Yep, sure will. I have a D90 and this eyepiece and they work just fun together.

This should work with any telescope that requires standard 1.25 inch eyepieces. They should also work with any telescope with 2 inch eyepieces, provided you purchase an adapter. I use them on an Orion Skyquest XT6 and have no issues.

I don't see why it wouldn't since you can input your lat-long. Good question for either telescope.com or Orion telescopes and binoculars hot line.

Hello Douglas,as a matter of fact, you can! The larger bands on Jupiter are in fact easy to spot; the 26mm eyepiece will show them very clearly. The same goes for the pole caps on Mars, but those are very hard to spot with the 26mm. The 9.7mm eyepiece would be a better choice. Much depends on the clarity and stability of the atmosphere of the night, and on the amount of light pollution. But the ETX90 is definitely capable of delivering those images!
