Hi All, I'm new to this forum and really still new to astronomy. I've had a Meade DS90-EC scope for a few years now. It came with the motors but, no autostar....
It is not possible to control the motors by computer without an Autostar in between. The best thing to do would be to contact Bill Vorce at the Telescope ...
Hello everyone. I just purchased a Meade DS-90AT 90mm telescope for my children who I am homeschooling. I was wondering if I could get any feedback on this...

Thanks so much for responding. We truly appreciate it. We live on the outskirts of the city and it is very dark out here at night. This will be our very first...
... My $.02 worth: This will be a great scope to get started with, and I wouldn't buy another one until you get a chance to use this one a bit. However, you ...
... Here's a little more advice from a relative newbie who also has a DS 90AT. When you get your scope, read the manual carefully as you do your initial setup,...
... Don't remember the key sequence, but the AutoStar has a key sequence that allows it to be used as a red LED flashlight. Can someone chime in here? David...
I would suggest looking for a local astronomy club too. Finding a kindly old astro-mentor might be worth their weight in gold! Just ignore any astro-snobs you...
Hi, I've had a Meade DS90-ET scope for a few years now. Although it came with the motors it didn't have a the Goto pad. It's still a very good scope for...
I wanted to take this time to thank all of you for such awesome advice. We truly appreciate all of your wonderful comments. We are really excited to get...
On the 497, you just hit the '0' (zero) key whenever the handbox is not expecting numeric input. The manual doesn't indicate that the 494 has the utility...

Okay, unless GOTO is mandatory, got for the 6" Dob scope. It will show you more stuff in the sky than either the 2130 or ETX70. The bigger the aperture of the...
Hello, and HELP! Leaving for an 800-mile one-way trip to dark skies in six days with a Meade DS90AT. Three days ago, the Alt drive motor stopped responding at...
Christopher: Thanks. I've sent Bill an email. Dick Seymour had suggested posting in Roboscope and the Meade DS groups since many folks here have 494s they've...
How well is the 2130 constructed. I have read a bunch of different things. People say the constuction is great and mechanics are worthless. Is this true? Rob...
I would say that the optics are very good and the mount could use a lot of improvement. A lot of people have come up with tips and tricks for improving the...
