Nice, and I like the Randall stack in the background too

For the two that asked what size and what’s that sound.

The ETX 90 is a 90mm telescope. The OTA is great, the mount needs a lot of improvement. It’s not as smooth as the LX200 or LX400 models – but for the price what do you expect.

The sound? Those are the DC motors that drive the scope around. They’re fairly geared down so there is a bit more noise than just the motor itself. My LX200 10″ and 12″ sounds pretty much like that.

It’s a good beginner scope.
