ETX 125 OTA on an LXD75 mount?

Do you know is it easy to dismount & remount the ETX OTA from
the forks?

YES.

Can this lead to problems later?

Yes, but only if you try to put the tube back of the forks, it can be difficult to get the tube orthoganal with the forks, but not impossible, this is important for proper goto function.

YES.

Sorry Dave, I think you misunderstood me there.
I see that you said

As it turns out, you can take the tube off the forks,

But my next question was 'was it easy to do this'

As we discussed last night,
I don't think I'll bother.
The ETX 125 as you say may indeed have better tracking in polar mode.
(Don't think I need a wedge as it has a Latitude bar - see avitar)

Anyway, with the luck I'm having with all my gear
(I forgot to tell you my new canon had to be sent back also!!)
I think it might be a wise move letting the one thing still working properly
well enough alone!

oops, thats what I get for reading a post too quickly.

You seem to have the touch of distruction Frank :lol: or just a run of bad luck.

Yup.
I think its my big chubby fingers.
Terry is talking about getting me a new camera for Christmass:





I hear it's indestructable!

Looking forward to seeing M51 with it :lol:
