Thanks Dick! I think I figured out my problem. I was trying to change the slew speed by using the up/down arrows. I just read that I should be using the...
Until you're (again) familiar with its operation, i would NOT recommend upgrading (and i certainly don't recommend a senseless reload if it ain't broke). ...
I fixed two LX200GPS scopes - an 8" and a 10", both of which had the problem of Polaris being 10 degrees off by doing the calibrate sensors utility. I don't...
Does anyone know of a finder scope with crosshairs that will remain centered on the object and is precise? My Stellarvue has parallax. No one seems to ...
Don, I have been bugged by the same thing. I keep thinking I should get an illuminated crosshair finderscope but don't know of one that will fit in the Meade...
I can't say if it meets the requirements for the first question about cross hair alingment but the Antares 7.5 X 50 with illuminated eyepiece fits the standard...

Hi Dick, In the readme, the first (e) statement does not appear correct? Or (g) under "install...? "17" missing? Question: is ASU 4.3 OK to do the job? I think...
