Fix mirror shift in ETX Maks and a cool mod

This video shows the cause and fix for mirror shift in ETX Maksutov’s. I’ve owned many of the Meade ETX scopes. I see a lot of threads on mirror shift during focus. It’s an easy fix. I also see a lot of broken ETX’s on the used market. The 90 and 125 Mak’s are excellent optics. Unfortunately they are housed in plastic. If used with care they can be fantastic go-to systems for observation but rarely they seem treated well. For owners of broken ones, or folks looking to upgrade to an equatorial mount.. Wegat Optical has a relatively cheap solution. They make a quality back plate with a 2” SCT thread for those looking to get more use out of their scopes. I am not affiliated or endorsed by Wegat Optical. I simply think they offer a fantastic alternative to tossing a broken ETX. I hope this video reaches those who would benefit from it. I personally feel the ETX Maksutov’s are fine optically. I received the one in the video free. It had busted drive parts but for me it is definitely worth buying the adapter and a set of tube rings. It’s a much higher focal length than my current Orion Apex ( which I love ). Clear skies.
