Walmart Vision center has the Meade ETX 90 EC for sale, with the smaller
Astro Star 495 for only $499. This is the cheapest I have ever seen this
little fellow and thought I would share the joy. $499 is good by itself but
then throw in the computer control and that makes the package a really good
deal.

My reply:
Just a word of caution here. When you purchase something like a
computerized ETX90EC or ETX125EC from a place like WalMart, you will not get
any sympathy if it all goes wrong, which computerized scopes sometimes do.
You're much better off spending the extra 100.00 or so and buying from a
reputable dealer that has service after the sale.
I would never buy a complicated piece of equipment like a computerized
telescope from a discounter. They are only interested in you before you put
your money down.
