Hi

Can't verify they are exactly the same, but they are close. Might be worth a try.

Ah,but do they fit Very Happy
Do you know if the Meade ETX 45deg erecting prism is metal or is it plastic?
The Celestron one I have is plastic and it's horrid,wanted something a bit better Very Happy
Thanks.

Hi

Can't verify how well it will work - don't have access to both at this time - but the Meade is metal. Worth a try.

I got the Meade #932 erecting prism and it does indeed fit the Celestron C90 spotting scope.
Might be of some use in the future if anyone else wants to know the same thing,thanks.
