Does anyone have a source or know where I can find an adapter to use a standard 1.25" diagonal on a Meade ETX90 or ETX125? Scopetronix use to have them - they...
I used to own an EXT-90 and recently a person with a new ETX-60AT had a couple of questions for me. I'm not that familiar with the 60AT but back when I had my...
Don't know if this will help you but the Orion 1.25" diagonal #08295 that came with my short-tube 80 threads directly onto the back of my ETX125. Phillip...
Yes, the #497 AutoStar (has number keys on the keypad) works on the ETX-60/70/80/90/105/125 as long as it has a reasonably current ROM (since the ETX-60/70 was...

You will most likely need to perform a Setup/Telescope/Calibrate Drives (you may have motor runaway or "Motor Unit Fault" messages if you don't), and you'll...
Thanks George, the image showed in the email for me so I assumed everybody else could view it too. Anyway the image of my damaged right OTA support (I think)...
David, I have wanted to do the same thing, I decided to go the LAR (Large Accessory Ring) route, these have been made for various smaller catadiatropic scopes...
Has anyone been able to run the train drives routine using a web-cam and the Autostar remote handbox? I just tried it and it didn't work for me. The W-E and...
Gday Phillip ... I haven't tried with the ASSuite remote Hbx, but i have with my own. Works well, but it is slow as it is very easy to overshoot the target...
Good Morning Andrew & thanks for the reply. I've heard a lot about you and your program and I guess the time has come for me to take the plunge. I've...
Ordered one from there thanks ... From: Gregg <starryskyn@...> Subject: [ETXASTRO] Re: HBX Cable To: ETXASTRO@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, May 10, 2009,...
Bad idea. Sell the mount for parts on eBay with full disclosure. I follow the market on broken mounts and they bring unreasonable prices. A dead mount may sell...
I created an album in photos showing the way I repair this problem. It's named "Trunion Arm Repair". While the example in the photos is a first generation ETX...
Gee, for that price you'd think you'd get the coiled cable. Eight conductor coiled (a/k/a retractable) cable runs a buck a foot and the CAT-45 plugs are a...
I just received a "Replacement" Autostar #497 from Meade. It opens with "08 Meade 2008 Bootloader V2.27". After the boot everything appears to proceed...
Don't know about the bootloader but be certain to read the item "Updating the NEW AutoStar #497 - DON'T!" on the Announcements: Warnings! page on my ETX Site. ...
Thanks Mike. I had already read it. The problem is that the actual version 59E7 does not appear on the boot screen so if I sell the controller, I can't explain...
Has anyone here verified that the current AutoStar Suite, Envisage Software and USB->srial drivers are compatible with Microsofts new Windows 7? What are the...
Gday Bob ... You actually have an Autostar "497EP" ( ie its a physically new Model ) ... Hmmmm, thats an earlier version too??? Most people recently were...
Hiya Andrew. Thanks for your info. I had read the warning posted on Mike's ETX site along with Dick Seymour's input. I had already seen one of the new 497's...
There will never be a "43" patch for the new Autostar. If/when we figure out how to kick it (and Meade or Chris manages a functional updater) the kits would...
Hey Warp I am currently running the windows 7 RC. Thru Auto star/Envisage I can connect to my USB/SERIAL converter and access my ETX125 auto star 497. My LPI...
Ron, How do you know that the LPI will work with Vista? All my attempts to get my LPI to run on my Vista Home Premium Toshiba have failed. Tim Kamel ...
Tim There are various articles on the net about what causes the issues, one of which Mighty Mike has already mentioned. On a side note I got the ASCOM drivers...
