Sounds like an intermittent cable connection problem. I would inspect the ends of the cable for corrosion, damage or loose wires. You might try reversing the ...

I am new to using telescopes and thoroughly enjoy it. I have a question that I am unable to find the answer to and am looking for help. I am using a DS 2130AT...
Dave, I'm just a beginner, but I see no one else has answered you so I'll try. Others may correct or amplify my response. You won't see the prominent colors...
Thanks Gary, I thought I was doing something wrong which is not unusual , just ask the wife,lol. I thought it may also be the light pollution that has...
I tried to find references, but couldn't, at least not today. The lack of color has to do with the same thing that keeps you from seeing colors in the dark,...

Howdy! I have a DS 2130 Walmart beast.. while it gives GREAT optical images (now that I have the Celestron set, that is) I am having a BEAR of a time with...
Are you trying to use a 35mm SLR with the lens removed? Could it be that you don't have enough back focus to allow you to focus the scope with the camera...
THanks Christopher.. Yes, I have tried to use both the SLR with the lens removed, and hte Toucam at "prime focus". I find my target with say, a 32mm plossl,...
Yes, it sounds like you don't have enough in-focus available to be able to focus correctly with that scope. One option to consider would be to move your...
Hmm.. thats kind of what i was thinking. THese plastic meade focusers are _huge_. WOuld a low-profile focuser possibly help? (that would also help with fine...

I'm on my second base. I haven't even been able to use the telecope yet other than as point and shoot. Meade repaired the first one and it still wouldn't move...
The Meade DS-2000 series telescopes certainly have their limitations and mechanical quality is their weakest point. Their strength is in the quality of the...
I want to thank you for responding to my post. Meade has agreed to send me a new base and told me to throw the old one out. I've been trying to reverse...
The Meade MA eyepieces are modest but reasonable eyepieces. The Orion scopes are made in China and are generally inferior to Meade optics. Meade Plossls are a...
