Hi, do anybody of you know the following books more in detail ? 'The ETX Telescope Guide' by Lilian Hobbs and` 'Using the Meade ETX) by Mike Weasner Are they...
I like the Jameco you listed. I've decided to return the one I got from radio shack and get the one that Meade sells for their ds-2000 series (#546). I assume...
Fred, I have absolute no knowledge on Meade 546. But it is rather amusing to see 3 different configurations on the same part number. - the OPT one you stated....
Sharon, I agree with Rick. The goto capabilities of the 2130 (and I assume the other DS2000 series 'scopes) leave a lot to be desired. But what you have to...
Frankly, folks....I have the DS-2114 ATS...it works....I fiddled with it....learned the pleasures of collimating correctly. Yes, for $300 + you should expect...
Many people have mentioned they have made use of the Radio Shack 12v power supply instead of the 8 AA-batteries. But, I have not seen where anyone mentioned...
Happy New Year everybody. I have the DS2114ATS but I got rid of the short tube and put a 4505 tube in it's place. I added the 497 autostar and got some good 2"...
You will notice the tips also have a letter associated with them. The correct one is "N". I prefer the 15V power supply as it is regulated. I you found a 12V...
James, 5.5/2.5 - I think it is their "N" peter... ... From: "jacravy" <jacravy@...> To: <Meade-DS-Telescopes@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, January 02,...
Hello Everyone, I received a DS-2000 model scope for Christmas, I have a few questions though. In looking at Meade's website they have a section for Telestar...
... Hi! ... You learn fast, young grasshopper. While it's smaller, an image that is bright and sharp is preferable to a larger one that is dim and/or fuzzy. ...
... Keep in mind that one of the most important factors with regard to the maximum amount of useful magnification you're able to attain is seeing conditions,...
I just wanted to let everyone know that I am selling Meade LPI LNIB for $80.00. Forgive me for posting it in here but I know alot of people in this group like...
DS-2114ATS power supply: $18 USD (incl. tax) at Radio Shack....12 V, 1000 mA (or 1 Amp,)Cat. #273-1776. You need a minimum of 800 mA. MORE IS OK!!! Less will...
I would recommend against using 273-1776. It is not a regulated power supply. You MUST use a regulated supply. I did try this exact same power supply once and...
What you are describing is a "time-out". I think it is the computer going into a power save mode. It doesn't shut off. By pressing one of the arrows the...
This was not a time-out because it would happen every 1-2 seconds. I guess I should've been more specific. I did return that unit for unit #273-1667. This one...
Fred, I am not convinced, as you are not, that your problem is PS related. The regulated power supply is supposed, as I understand it, to maintain the voltage...
Dear ET, I hate to jump into this discussion, but can't resist. All I can say is I know a lot on electroncis and few mfg.'s designs on the power supply side as...
Defining something power supply as being "regulated" is in many cases like defining something as being "clear". There are many different varying degrees (and...
Hello: Hope this isn't a transgression of the group rules,but very good reasons forced me to. My classic xt10 skyquest dobsonian is proven too much for my...
Carl, Are you sure you have that right? That whole package from Orion new without the sun filter is only $499! Just thought I would let you know. Jerry in...
I have found my DS-114 to be the most reliable when operating it from a 12 Volt battery. A garden tractor battery from a discount store costs a little less...
My wife got me a DS2114 for a Xmas present for 300 + tax. After reading everything about them, and not getting my darned scope to work- I wonder, should I turn...
Thanks for all the messages on this group, they are helping to get the most from my DS2114ATS. I have two questions that I need help with: 1) I have tried...
Grisha, As an afterthought, hopefully you haven't "turned too many screws" and thus made it a bit too difficult to get it aligned again and working properly...
I'll speak to item #1 specifically. You hit it pretty well on the head -- Saturn's low position is the likely culprit for the poor image quality. It is a...
If you got a DS2114-AT then it is a fairly good scope optics wise, if you purchased a DS2114-ATS then you might find the scope less then optimal. The (S)...
Having recently purchased a refurbished DS-2114ATS, I must say it has provided me with countless hours of fun just with translating the instruction manual from...
