Product Info

Manufacturer Description

Meade Model 933 Image Erecting Prism for ETX-60, ETX-70 and ETX-80 Models. Produces a correctly oriented image and convenient 45° observing angle for terrestrial observations. A great item for a home with a view or nature watching.

All ETX-60, ETX-70 and ETX-80 models all feature an internal flip mirror to reflect light to the telescope’s convnient 90° astronomical observing position. In this position the telescope’s image is upright, but mirror reversed left to right. While this is normal and poses no problem for astronomy, for terrestrial observing a corrected image is highly desirable which is where this useful accessory comes in.

For observing wildlife, a home with a view, or other Earthly applications the #933 45° Erecting Prism results in an image both right side up and corrected left to right. It also provides a comfortable 45° observing angle which is more convenient for daytime work. Threads securely onto the rear photo port of the telescope. For all ETX-60. ETX-70 and ETX-80 models.

Note: not compatible with ETX-90 or ETX-125, see item #07210 Meade 932 Erecting Prism for these models.

Product carries full one year Meade factory limited warranty (within US/Canada only).

Specifications for #933 45° Erecting Prism (1.25") for Meade ETX-60, ETX-70 and ETX-80:

  • Use: Fully correctly oriented image
  • Attachment: Threads to rear of telescope

      5.0 Great accessary for the ETX Telescope!

      Pros:

      Strong Construction,Lightweight,Compact

      Cons:

      Comments:

      I purchased this device originally to give me an option to get focus through a camera with the ETX 80 telescope I have. I'm not a big fan of the Meade ETX line. I replaced my scope 4 times in the year it was under warranty. The last scope I received as a replacement does not give me focus when I connect a camera to it. At any rate, I tried this out and there was some focus but for terrestial viewing, it is great. Even with the cameras I used which was a Web Cam and a surveillance camera, the views were awesome. The detail was just as good as my T3I connected to my other refractor I own, which is much more solid than the ETX Telescope. As you can imagine, once you switch over to use this attachment, the viewing position can be a bit awkward, but no more awkward than trying to use a red dot finder though any telescope.
