#774 Hard Carrying Case:
For situations that require ruggedness and
portability, the #774 Hard Carrying Case (Fig. 31) provides a secure
environment for the ETX-90EC. The fitted foam interior protects the telescope
while providing ample room for additional eyepieces, a table tripod, the
Electronic Controller, ETX Autostar, and much more.
#607 DC Power Cord:
To power the ETX-90EC from an automobile cigarette
lighter plug, the #607 DC Power Cord (Fig. 32) is required. Supplied with 25 ft.
cord.

#541 AC Adapter:
(not shown) The #541 AC Adapter permits powering of the ETX-90EC via a standard household
(115vAC) electrical outlet. Supplied with 25 foot cord.
#1244 Electric Focuser:
The #1244 Focuser (Fig. 33) replaces the manual
focuser knob of the ETX-90EC and permits smooth, precise electric focusing of
the image through a remote handbox supplied with the focuser. Alternately, on
the ETX-90EC, the #1244 Focuser may be plugged into the telescope's
computer control panel and operated through either the Electronic Controller or
the optional #497 ETX Autostar Computer Controller.

#905 Variable Polarizing Filter:
For glare reduction in observing the Moon the
#905 Variable Polarizer (Fig. 34) includes two Polarizer filters mounted in a
specially-machined cell. The #905 permits variable settings of light transmission
between 5% and 25%, to account for varying lunar surface brightness according
to the phase of the Moon. Accepts 1.25" barrel-diameter eye-pieces of any focal
length.
