Hello all. I'm new to the group and have a quick question. Can I purchase a power supply at Radio Shack for the 90? If not what are my options other than...
... Yes. Almost any "wall wart" AC-to-DC adapter which supplies 12 volts, and at least 1000 milliamps (preferably 1500) should work. The connector is...
First its not really a corrector a la Dr. Schmidt. It's a meniscus lens that functions as a corrector. "Around 1941 Anton Bowers and Dmitry Maksutov separately...
I've got to agree with Rod. Not only for the obvious light bucket reasons, but also being an early adopter of the LS with all it's bells and whistles scares...
... Not sure the plug was "free", they usually give you one with each unit, but the interchangeable plugs RS sells with/or for this unit are a great idea. Get...
... Warning: the "M" (Mary) is 6.1mm, the "N" (Nancy) is 5.5mm It -is- possible to cram the M into the Meade socket. Doing so distorts the spring which serves...
Thank you George for your reply and assistance. Also for your information re, Maksutov telescope design. I must admit my heart was in my mouth when I first...
Got the power supply yesterday with N plug. Used it last night for the first time. WOW!!! What a difference. Thanks everyone. FWIW, it was 25.39 total at...
Hey everyone. I need some help using the Auto Star Suite. I thought I had it figured out, but I guess not. In Which order do I start evrything up? I first...
... Actually, i can't... far too little data. What flavor of telescope? Mounted Polar or Alt/Az? Which version of Autostar firmware? How is tracking "off"? ...
Ok. Not sure what you needed as far as info. Here goes. ETX 90 EC Alt/Az mounted Version 43eG Starmap I'm just trying to use it to slew with, no imaging. Is...
... That is correct... my apologies for not confirming that the procedure ou detailed in the first message was correct. I can't see a reason that StarMap...
I set mine up last night, and here's what I did that worked for using AutoStar Suite to GOTO stars. There are probably many orders of these steps that will...
Make sure the date and time in the program, in the planetarium part of the program, agree with what you have set in the Autostar. This includes time, date,...
Tnaks for the help!!!!!! I might not try it tonight, looks kinda cloudy, but if we get some rain, I don't care. There's always tomorrow. I'll let everyone...
To be perfectly honest about this? The free Cartes du Ciel is really a superior program in most ways. What's in Autostar Suite is a retread of their old...
I recently had my 90mm ETX rehabbed at Meade after it experienced problems in declination. Rehab charge was stiff but scope was returned in pristine condition...
If moving objects (like planets) are off BUT fixed objects (stars, DSOs) then the problem is likely a year problem. Check that the proper year is selected....
Gday to you too Andrew: Yes the good folks at Meade did upgrade me to 59Ef as you suggested. Is there a way of fixing this mess by reverting to an earlier (or...
Mike - thanks for reply but believe me the "year" thing has been sweated and verified by two other experienced observers in addition to me. Also, the moon is...
... Whenever reporting an Autostar bug, telling us the version number is *critical* to diagnosis. ... It's not the "software suite" that's causing this, it's...
So.... Dick... how does one tell which version of the AutoStar you have? Also, assuming it is NOT the new model, which version of the software updates should...
I'd be interested in the answers to those questions as well Dick but thanks for the further elaboration. Patience is not one of my better virtues though. ...
Gday Dave ... Start it up and watch the initialisation screen or go to Setup > Statistics If you have 43Eg or 44Ea ( ie starts with 4 )its an old Handbox If it...
