2434	Hi Rod, I read your post and curious about you waiting for an off the shelf wireless solution. I have the DS-2130 and have not yet tried to use the #506...	bkusa66	Dec 1, 2004 5:52 pm
2435	Hello Everyone, I found your group on an individuals website and thought I'd post my question here as you guys would know the answer. I've been considering...	sjones2114	Dec 1, 2004 8:11 pm
2436	I rarely reply to posts on this group but once in a while I must. DO NOT buy the DS2114ATS for that kind of money. The optics of that scope have some inherent ...	Jerry crazyj1251	Dec 1, 2004 8:51 pm
2437	As I believe it was, Jerry said, the 2114 is not the way to go, especially at $300.00. I have yet to see anyone post here that was real happy with this ...	Phil Pasteur ppasteur	Dec 1, 2004 10:46 pm
2438	Thanks Jerry, Well hopefully some others will guide me towards something better. I thought the autofind feature would be nice as I am VERY much a beginner....	sjones2114	Dec 1, 2004 11:40 pm
2439	I agree with Phil the telescope you saw as a child was a celestron SCT ( Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope ). I however would recommend a different scope. $300 is...	mhommel john_doe4913	Dec 1, 2004 11:53 pm
2440	I second Matt's opinion. IMHO, in sub $200-$300 range, with GOTO and tracking, Meade 80mm or 90mm refractor DS-80 or DS-90 is the way to go. Also, if you are...	ccs_hello	Dec 2, 2004 2:29 am
2441	Sorry OT I don't know the seller nor that specific one item. But this one DS-80 (#3857220013) free shipping with a 497 controller is quite nice. Again, I don't...	ccs_hello	Dec 2, 2004 2:43 am
2442	Here is the deal, you have to get an idea what is going on before you can make any decision that you will not regret later as to your 'scope purchase. Of this...	Phil Pasteur ppasteur	Dec 2, 2004 2:48 am
2443	I second Matt's opinion. One more thing... ... It is not Meade, but I have heard some real decent reviews on the Celestron 80GTL with the Nexstar computer. It...	Phil Pasteur ppasteur	Dec 2, 2004 2:57 am
2444	Oops! Forgot to mention that the purple haze on the moon-shot in photo-directory Graham_DS2114ATS_Sony_MVC-CD250 is actually a thin layer of clouds moving...	James Graham ishmael_a_ph...	Dec 2, 2004 4:50 pm
2445	I've added a copy of my first-ever through the telescope shot to the following photo directory: Graham_DS2114ATS_Sony_MVC-CD250. The name of the directory...	James Graham ishmael_a_ph...	Dec 2, 2004 4:53 pm
2446	I also own a DS2114ATS (there a few more - DS80EC, ETX70AT, C10N GT). Here are my comments: 1. Catadioptric systems have disadvantages (you already mentioned)...	Alfred Ferstl landy100at	Dec 2, 2004 5:34 pm
2447	I would like to through in my opinion. I have a DS2130AT, from Wal-Mart. It was $298. They currently have a DS2130ATS for the same price. That may be what ...	Matthew Taylor birminghamta...	Dec 2, 2004 7:03 pm
2448	One thing I found... and this will be true with ANY scope, reflector, refractor, GOTO or manual... You will still need to learn something about the sky. I got...	rellimja777	Dec 2, 2004 8:35 pm
2449	Hi everyone, I just got my refurbed Ds-90AT from Meade on Tuesday, I had the scope out Wendsday night for a while, I'm impressed with the optics even with the...	lglake2000	Dec 2, 2004 11:40 pm
2450	When that happened to me a few months ago I sent the whole scope back and got another one. Meade even paid the shipping. Jerry in Arizona ... ...	Jerry crazyj1251	Dec 3, 2004 1:29 am
2452	... The only thing i can suggest is a Setup > Reset (just in case something's whacky in the parameters) and make sure you've got the correct Model selected. ...	autostaretx	Dec 3, 2004 3:41 am
2453	Gene, Since you just got it from Meade outlet store, and since you heard the "click" sound, that means the motor's gears were skipping (to complain something...	ccs_hello	Dec 3, 2004 4:53 am
2454	I bought a DS60 with motorized mount back when they were being discontinued. It was a cheap way to create a goto mount for the OTA of my ETX90RA. After...	travisedwin	Dec 3, 2004 2:12 pm
2455	Travis, The symptom in your case seems to be "the other" branch of the MUF error (hopefully there will be no third branch): The Autostar/494/495/497 cannot...	ccs_hello	Dec 3, 2004 4:22 pm
2456	Original Message*************************************************** From: "ccs_hello" <ccsmy@...> Subject: Re: 'Motor Unit Fault' Gene, Since you...	lglake2000	Dec 4, 2004 4:08 pm

2458	Ok, new here but I will comment. You can get a DS2130 which seems to have better reviews than the 2114 off ebay FROM Meade for $158 (shipping included!) Check...	Mike wkendrvr	Dec 6, 2004 4:57 am
2459	Thanks for your input. I had the same idea about the contacts, so I went through and made certain that they were clean and that they made contact properly. If ...	travisedwin	Dec 6, 2004 3:21 pm
2460	Travis, Maybe checking the coiled wire. Sometimes the inside wire is about to break. Flaky contact is a ghost which we know when perfectly sattled and...	ccs_hello	Dec 7, 2004 3:47 am
2461	Hi, I am trying to find a replacement autostar to tripod mounting bolt and am hoping that someone can tell me the size and thread count etc so I dont have to...	itsfm	Dec 7, 2004 10:33 pm
