Meade ETX-105AT/EC

4.0 Meade ETX-105AT

Ease of use, portability, go-to function

Image shift on focusing, plastic screws on finderscope tend to break off

Very useful and easy to set up. Go-to function is excellent and level/north system allows for easy alignment. I frequently use it in remote areas, on DC power. It sets up and takes down easily. Planetary and lunar astrophotography is easily accomplished with attachments. Focuser has image shift that has not been correctable despite sending it back to the factory. I've replaced the cheap plastic retention screws on the finderscope with some stronger nylon screws that don't break off.
