ETX 125

Anyone familiar with this scope's ability's /accessories - I've been looking to set it up via computer for control- viewing - and Remote focusing. I've not been able to find a direct answer for a program or an electric remote focus unit, this thing is a pain in the but to set up huge tripod and due to its weight, I would like to permanently place it and be able to control it from inside my office.

I have seen the Meade electric focuser but not found one with Wi-Fi ability

You should connect with the many amateur telescopes sites for the info you seek. Some of them will be happy to give opinions, experiences and advice exactly into the area you are wanting to use your device. As you evidently already know, it can get vastly complicated for newbies.

I just did and had to spend the last hour figuring out how to get rid of fake MacAfee and Norton pop ups ,..

I supose you've already checked these sites out....just suggesting on the off chance you missed them.

Consult “Weasner’s Meade ETX Site” for helpful information on astrophotography, including counterweight tips and prime focus adapter recommendations.
Review the Cassiopeia Observatory’s review of the ETX-125 Observer telescope for additional astrophotography test results and tips.
By understanding the ETX-125’s strengths and limitations, you can successfully use it for astrophotography and capture stunning images of deep-sky objects.
