Chris, I am the same person that asked a similar question in the celestron forum. For me, becouse of the astrophotography I am eventually planning on doing, I...
Okay, when it comes to astrophotography, the mount is the most important investment! The Apogee Inc. HD mount (a.k.a. CG-5/EQ-4) is the EXACT same mount as the...
Ok, now I get the Idea! Get a good mount for my somewhat poor current optics, and then upgrade! Is the LXD55 mount available seperatly (I will have a good look...

I am having the same problem. I got it to work after callibrating the motor. Make sure you have the tube balanced. That seems to help quite a bit. I added a...
Is there a comparison of these two controllers available? They look the same, but I suspect that each supports a different set of telescopes. The Meade web...
Thanks. It's a pity they use surface mount for the ROM, makes it very difficut to swap the firmware. I just purchased a 495 which will be upgraded to a 497,...
Glad to see the original group back up. Just in time too. I will be travelling overseas and want to take my Ds127EC mount. What updates to the software can I...
Which Autostar model do you have? If it doesn't have a numeric button pad then it is a 494 Autostar and there are no updates available. If it has a numeric...
