Going from memory, I thought I saw a Meade advertisment state something like a 5 arc mins pointing accuracy for the LX90. On the other hand, I don't recall...
Hello All: I have a 90 and a 125 on the way and was wondering if anyone has worked through the idea of using a focal reducer for visual work? I would love to...

I got a Deluxe Wide Field Adapter from Shutan and it was just the thing for the Beehive cluster, I'm very happy with it. It requires the use of a visual back...
I am planning on buying a new EXT125. I have never used a telescope for celestial viewing. I am most interested (at least for now) on viewing the moon, sun,...
I have both an 120mm f8 refractor on a CG-5/EQ-4 mount and an ETX-125 (and a lot of other scopes). Truth be known I prefer the 120mm f8 refractor over the...
Now that Celestron has released the NexStar 5i, 8i with Addon GPS capability, with a GPS module plugged into the AUX port & hand controller. I hope Meade...
I see very little real value to the addition of GPS. Lat, Lon and time may be more precise, but the two-star alignment method is still required and initial...
Does anyone know what the threads are on the "paddle" thumbscrew used to tighten down the Latitude rod on the Meade #884 tripod? Are they Standard or Metric?...
... Hi Wade, you have them already on the tripod,they are the leg lock knobs, and its metric bolt (M-8 ,8mm with a 12.5 thread).I just purchased a 884 about a...
Thanks, Ray! That helps a lot!! I checked my attachment bolts like you suggested, mine is already missing the c-clip and spring on one of the bolts, after...

I own both an ETX105EC and a 10" LX200GPS and agree with most of the conclusions that the GPS, level sensors and electronic compass are not (really) necessary....
It isn't worth it for the LX200GPS series either. Lots of these are pier mounted and a GPS is stupid. And the new 16" will have the GPS. What a waste of $$s. ...

Hi Peter, I found the Meade focuser to be too fast for precise focusing until I modified it as described by Stefan Keller-Tuberg on Mr Weasner's exellent site....
Im on my second Meade one, the first one I had the gears kept slipping, and grinding. However this second one is working fine, as long as you don't over...
G,day, Girls and Boys. I would not use anything other than the JMI focus. It operates independently from the autostar so there is no need for menu scrolling...
