Both telescopes were designed for visual use and will not bring a dslr to focus. You will need to raise the primary mirror about an inch and a half or install...
Meade or Bill Vorce at Telescope Warehouse or maybe even George here can supply a thread-on adapter for the eyepiece end of your focuser tube to accept 1.25...
Meade customer service used to provide 1.25 screw on eyepiece adapters for free if you call. I don't know the current status of that since I've heard Meade...
I called Meade for the "free" adapter - no longer available. They do sell a 0.9" to 12.5" adapter for $15 + $5 shipping (too expensive, but I was confused,...
Not sure which focuser is on the 4505. If it has the 2" chrome plastic barrel. Bill Vorce has a 2" adapter. Then you can get a 2 to 1.25" adapter. If it's the...

I have recently picked up 3 different 4.5" scopes from garage sales/craigslist, all for $40 or less each. The first was a 4450 on an EQ-2, the second was a...

This is the 114 4501 DH electronic controller RA only motor manual. This describes the connection of the motor and operation of the simple hand controller. ...
As Brian says the DH motors are hens teeth. I have a few trays I picked up from Bill Vorce. There really was no software sold with the scope, but I may have a...
Before you invest a lot in that scope, you might check that the optics of that 114 OTA are as good as you might like. I have one of them and a DS version,...
Hey guys, I have a Meade 114-eq scope/mount and I'm sick of ripping through batteries every time I turn around. The battery pack makes 15 V and about 1.5A. I...
Try Radio Shack. You can also use a car battery. I usually use my scope right next to the car, so all it would take is a little wire, a couple clamps, and a...
Hey, DONE! I did hit up radio shack and they did have what I needed, and I used a multimeter to verify polarity before even looking for the adapter. ALL IS...
Just picked up a 114EQ-DH4 from ebay, and it seems to be in pretty good shape. All the parts are there, and the electronics seem to have been never used. Out...
turns out the RA Axis Plastic Adapter and the Aluminum Shaft are missing (parts 2 and 3 from Figure 11 on page 12 of the manual). The motors tested good, so...
Brian, Thanks for the drive motor tip. A few years ago I rescued a 114mm Model 4495C from a yard sale for $8. Built a tripod and refurbed the EQ2 and...
Inspired by new astronomy buddy I'm taking the mothballs off my 4504, and was wondering if it is possible to run the motors off the electric(we call it mains...
Don't be fooled by ten 1.5V batteries. The scope runs just fine on 12V or anything between 12 and 15 volts. Any transformer that will give at least 12V while...
