I was tempted to capitalize on this and buy the lot for resale but here is a link to an inexpensive rechargeable 12-volt power source that can easily be...
... I wouldn't consider it to be "inexpensive" when you factor in the cost of 27 AA rechargeable alkaline batteries (which presumably do NOT come with that...
... A follow up on this: I bought a few, figuring that with what I do I can always use them (or the parts). I attempted to take one apart without breaking it,...

I love my DS2114ATS that I changed to a long tube 4504 and upgraded with a 497 autostar and some good 2" and 1.25" eyepieces. I have an 8" Hardin dob also but...
I use an Autostar 497 and have the new software update ( 3.2i??). In fact I have two 497's and both are slewing after they complete alignment. This slewing...

Chris - Thanks. Getting a 1000 mamp, 12vdc power supply is not a fast order here ( Saudi Arabia desert survey crew ). I will try reset, configure, calibrate...
Hi Group ! Well I tried the Autostar 497 plus ds127ec motors on a new 1000 milliamp 12vdc power supply and got creep after beep on the first try. I'll do some...
Yes Chris - I think so - I have 3.1e on one hand control and 3.2e on the other. I was thinking about reprogramming the hand control from whatever its default...
I have a Meade 2130 AT. I'm looking at getting a 0.965 to 1.25 eyepiece adapter. I want to get 2-3 new eyepieces. Two questions: 1. What would be the best...
Certainly go for 1.25" EP's and avoid .965" EP's. The Meade EP's are good but my favorites are the University Optics Konigs. http://www.universityoptics.com ...

Bummer. Sometimes Meade scopes can be a tinker's delight and someone else's nightmare. If you really want GOTO, maybe a Celestron Baby NexStar would be more to...
