Many thanks for the replies. This is a second source saying they find mounting a Guidescope on a 12in LX200 Classic works for them. I have been put off by all...
I agree with you on the spring-loaded primary mirror on the 12" ... I think it really helps in reducing the mirror flop problems. It seems all the "horror...
I recently purchased a this 10" lx200 classic locally. It has the 3.20 EPROMs. The previous owner provided me with EPROMS for 3.34L upgrade which he had...
The classic is too simple to have any other steps. The only gotcha is that you must replace the odd and even chips like for like, if you mix up the chips then...
... Mirror flop is not the tragedy it used to be years ago when most people were doing hour long film exposures. Today you take a sequence of shorter CCD...
Hey all you Uncensoreds, Looking for some advice. Dew has been a REAL problem up here in the NorthEast this extremely wet year, and my pier mounted LX200R has...
If you are coming in from the cooler outside, you want to keep moist inside air from getting in the tube. Leave the dewzapper on until OTA reaches room temp...
You should never open up the back of the telescope NOR bring it in with the back open. Plug up the opening with an eyepiece or cap securely. Do NOT remove...
Gentlemen; The original question was what to do about dew that has entered a "PIER" mounted instrument. The original poster did not want to have to take the...
This is a pier mounted scope so it's very likely permanently mounted. Toxo, get a 35mm plastic film can (leftovers are free at any photo developing place)....
Good advice - plus, a Cat Cooler or any sort of fan will make dew formation on the inside nearly impossible. Pointing the scope toward the ground will also...
Hello all, I want to update my Autostar 11 on my 14" LX200GPS. It's a very old version. I have no cable so I'll need to make one. I wonder if someone would be...
Hi All.. I have an LX200 mount (blown motherboard) That I am parting out or sale outright for $100..Both motors and geartrains are fine... front panel is...
I have already asked this question off group and cannot seem to get a definite answer: it is either an LX200 or "LX Quartz". So far no clarification. Dr. Clay...
Hello- I answered offline.. but I will answer here as well. front panel reads....... MEADE LX200 Computer drive system LX Quartz- DC servo Motor SMART DRIVE ...
Hi Again... from what I understanbd.. a capacitor failed on the motherboard and it was replaced.. however it appears the firm ware was erased as the only thing...
There is no firmware in the more modern sense. The program is held on two Eproms on the motherboard, and they are not user programmable as are things like the...
Hi Thanks for the info.. this was a job I did for a local scope shop to defork it... I dont have an LX200 and just wanted to offer up the carcass I was...
They are not EEproms, (That's electrically erasable prom) They are Eprom, just plain old erasable, to do that you need to blast them with a fairly short...
The "stuck at Meade prompt" is a very common problem with the classic, and there are at least several possible causes, but I've never heard of the eprom being...
That's the original "classic" LX200. The fact that the power is 18V is good, since that means it has v3.x firmware. The earliest classics ran on 12V and used...
