Spock Jim. Paul here. Glad to see you got an etx 125. It wont take long to learn the in's and outs of this telescope. Remember not to over tighten the locks on both axes, this is very important. You can and will damage the scope, finger tight is all you need. Buy (Using the meade etx by Mike Weasner). It is by far the best book on the etx. Also so Start out in alt/az mode for awhile to learn the scope, then get into polar mode and stay there. This scope works best in polar mode with time you will see this to be true. Ok buy what you want/need on e-bay you can and will save alot of cash by doing so. Dont buy any lens below 9.7 mm untill you learn to see. Try an 18mm wide angle - a 32mm or a 40mm for low power looking. If you plan on taking photos, or want to get a good polar alignment get your self a 12.5 illuminated reticles lens. This lens you will need. If you need and help with your new scope, please e-mail me. if I can help I will, if I cant I know folks who can. Let me know. Yours in the way. Paul F. Campbell
