Or so I hope... I just bought a power adaptor to plug into my ETX-90. I know the output must
be 12 V, but I do not know the polarity, i.e., in the jack, which...
Center positive. The wall warts are losers. The scope can pull 2 amps at full slew. My personal suggestion is a 13.8V regulated supply at about 5 amps. ...
Good grief, the ETX-90 doesn't need 2 to 5 amps. A 1.5amp (1500ma) regulated 12VDC power supply will work just fine with room to spare. Getting much above 13V...
I hope you have a fast-acting 5A fuse in the power supply line. Otherwise the sparks and flame could be quite impressive when something goes wrong. ...
My Meade ETX supply will run at 13.4 volts under a two drive slew with dew shield and 26mm eyepiece pulling 1.1 amps. The ETX works much better at 13 volts...
This issue has been discussed in detail before - cruise over to weasner's site and see what abounds. I would suggest a 2.5 amp fast blow fuse in the power...

I assume you're talking about NiCad batteries. The disadvantages: 1.25 volts per cell versus 1.5 for alkaline. Much lower capacity, batteries won't last as...

I have a SXV-M7C CCD camera and I got the guider along with it to go into my guide scope. Is the guide speed in the LX200 set at the factory or do I have to do...
Yes....that is a power saving function, and all you need to do is to hit any key; however, hitting the wrong key can sometimes mess up things, so I recommend...
Thanks Mr. Sherrod, You have been a big help to me in the last week and you don't know how much I appreciate it. I thought that it might be because of battery...
