About 25 years ago, I got a Meade ETX 125 telescope. I very much like the quality of the telescope itself. That Meade ETX Autostar controller, however... no. I've tried more than once over the years to ask about specifications of that telescope interface or if any new/different controllers are available, but I was always met by silence. The best pictures I was ever able to take were these, back in 2008, when I was still on LiveJournal.

If I had a better controller, I'm sure I would use that telescope again. These days, though, it just sits in its box undisturbed. :(
