Astrozap Eyepiece Caddy for Meade ETX Maksutov-Cassegrains

Description

This aluminum eyepiece caddy for all Meade ETX Maksutov-Cassegrain scopes serves a double purpose. It keeps as many as seven 1.25″ eyepieces and your Autostar computer hand control close at hand so you can find them easily in the dark. It also helps you level your scope when setting it up so that your computer can find celestial objects more easily.

The ETX caddy is placed on top of your tripod so that the holes in the caddy line up with the bolt holes on the tilt plate of the tripod. Your ETX is placed on top of the caddy and the tripod bolts are threaded up through the caddy and into the ETX base to hold the scope in place. The bubble level on the caddy can be used as a guide to help you level your tripod by adjusting the length of the tripod legs.
