Thanx Dick. The patches are great, I use them on my LX200GPS and my Orion SVP that I autostar 497 roboscoped a few months back. I took the LX200GPS and the...
I reversed the polarity to the battery connection and smoked something inside the base of my little ETX60. Before I open it up is this easily repairable and...
... The Meade stuff does not have polarity protection. If you reversed the voltage it's likely most/all of the electronics are fried. And no, that is not...
... Ah, an experienced, happy customer... ... Another thing to check is for dirt/grease in the encoders. Point at a landmark, bring up the Alt/Az readout. ...
That's a good piece of advice - I'll try that after work tonight. I'll take all the advice I can - nobody knows it all, and I am brand new to the ETX. I really...
... My own ETX90 is az=1100 and alt=3100 Sub ten-arcmin GoTo's (once i inserted a cardboard shim to pre-warp the plastic fork where the Dec Worm carrier is...
... The usual thing which smokes is/are traces blown off the power panel/switch board. Once you get the board out, it's easy to fix. Wire to jump the gap. See ...
Ok - here's a question... Lets say that I line up on a target and it's at 320'10'10' degrees on the readout and I turn a full 360 circle on the scope and...
... Correct... although a -few- arcminutes difference won't matter. Degrees matter. One dirty encoder vane will make a 10 degree error have fun --dick...
Ok, this was at least part of the problem... The readout was exactly 20deg off on a 360deg slew. That could indeed jack some things up in the accuracy...
Dick, you sir are a steely eyed missle man. It was grease in the encoder wheel... just lined it up (using automatic alignment) and it works like a champ!...
Hello everyone. My name is Gerry and I'm new to the group. I'm a proud new owner of an ETX-125PE. It was purchased on Friday evening (9/2/05) at Berger Bro's...
Hello, I'm quite new to this list, so I'll start with a presentation. I've got an ETX125 for 4 years and, with a friend, Florence, I also use to do some photos...
Hi Frank. I'm not an ETX owner as got the LX-90 instead. Your jupiter image is about at good as the one that I did with 3" of extra mirror! Keep up the good ...
Thanks ! About Mars, this is our latest (last week) and an old one (2003 opposition). Idem = webcam + ETX125+barlow x2 Franck, www.astrosurf.com/francketflo...
Hallo folks, someone here may kindly help me to find where purchase (on-line if possible) a complete RA assembly drive, because a lube missing has caused...
All worked out very well. The inspector and my friend finally met. The inspector said the packaging was good enough and concluded that too much vibration...
Here's something weird, and I'm open to thoughts: I have an ETX-90PE. I bought an electric focuser, and it worked fine. I send the scope to be supercharegd,...
Weasner's site has the most info on all things ETX. Start with this link http://www.weasner.com/etx/techtips/Cooney_70AT_Guide/70atguide.htm Bob ... From:...
My unsupercharged ETX-125PE focuser started doing the same thing right after the last handbox upgrade but only intermittently. To stop it I just unplug the...
Thanks Phillip - that information helps! Dr. Clay is probably relieved to hear his supercharge service didn't cause this. I've sent an email to Meade letting...
I simply can't get this config working, which is frustrating as the exact hardware config works with EVERY OTHER scope driver I've found on the mac,...
You have an e-mail address for Meade that actually works? I've noticed that they are rather conspicuous in that there is no official channel for anyone other...
I don't know if it works. I sent an email to Mike Weasner about the focuser issue and he gave me engineer@... as an address I could report the problem...
... Just keep in mind that a web beacon isn't terribly different from requesting a web page, an image on a web page or anything else. They're all logged and...
