This telescope will be my second telescope. I own a Meade LX50 8" and the Maksutov will be my "grab and go" telescope. I found a Meade DS130 mount for $50. I...
I did get a chance to check and the 127 Mak is a little smaller than the DS 130. I put some thick weather stripping around the tube ring and it fits perfect....
for eyepieces i have upgraded to 2" ones i have found the best deals from OWL they sell over ebay or you can deal with them directly, i have bought some really...
I am on the side of the fence that will NEVER buy another Meade product due to low quality and poor service. The DS-2130 is a heavy scope for the mount, and...
I just picked up a DSX mount (same as DS-2000 except the mounting screws are a little smaller). The arm is a little wobbly. Has anyone encountered a similar...
Firstly guys I would sincerely like to thank you for your feedback on Meade's CS, and secondly I would like to apologise for not responding sooner...(broken...
Well I got my new DS80EC on Friday. Set it up and tried it out on Saturday morning when Mars was up at near zenith. I was unhappy to find the optics were very...
Sounds like you have a good one Jerry. I wonder if it was sold because of the optics problem that you appear to have easily solved. I run a DS-127EC mount with...
Weel! I hooked up the 494 autostar last night and did a quick check of where the motors might place the scope if it were outside under the stars and it looks...

i confused myself so hard that my head started pounding and i had to stop thinking about it. then i got the bright idea to present this idea to others to see...
Hi everyone, this is my first post, so forgive if you've heard this all before. I have a recently purchased DS2114, I'm starting to get used to the autostar...
Hi, I'm new here... I was referred to this group (didn't know it existed!) by someone on the Meade Uncensored list because I have a question on my old DS127AT....
Hi All. New to the group and enjoyed reading the posts. I have a question - is the DS2114ATS secondary mirror identical to the Meade 4500 secondary? The reason...
A friend of mine has asked me to help him with his Meade DSX-125AT. One of the problem is the tripod is too flexible around the vertical axis. It does the ...
I just bought a DS-2130at from the Meade outlet on ebay, I am told that the only difference between this one and the DS-2130ATS is that the ATS is a short tube...
I bought a Meade DS-2130 scope from someone on eBay. When I received the item, I unpackaged it and everything looked fine so I left positive feedback for that...
I bought a 2130 off the Meade factory outlet in ebay. got it the other day and as expected there is a dent in the tube but this is not a big deal, I had to...
I am considering buying the Meade DS-114ATA telescope. Sam's Club has it for $199.00. Anybody have any opinions on this scope? It comes with the AutoStar...
Bought a DS-2130AT from Meade's outlet store based on everyones overwhelming recommendation (well mostly the price compared to the DS-2130ATS at Best Buy)....
I ordered the ds-2130at from the meade factory outlet on e-bay (yes, I read the messages but..). Question, does the scope come with the 2 inch to 1.25 inch...
Hi - I just purchased a DSX-90AT from the factory outlet and am curious about the tripod/mount. It's not clear in any of the manuals or product information as...
Vince, The long tube and short tube can have many differences. First off be glad you didn't get the short tube as it contains a "doubler in the focuser that...
Gerry, Having had both scopes I think you actually might be able to swap the secondary just fine. Since the short tube ATS is basically junk in my opinion that...
I would go to Telescope Warehouse on Ebay and check out what Bill has to offer first. Also have you checked out the Meade Outlet on Ebay? I am not affiliated...
