The Super Plossls are a good match for your scope. After all the eyepiece is 1/2 of the telescope, which means that if you put a $5 eyepiece in a $500...
Thank you for the tip on the series 5000 5.5mm lens. I intend to purchase one within the next week or so. Just looked at M82 with my 9.7mm lens, and...
Hi Christopher, That is an idea I have been playing about with for the last couple of years, as you have probably discovered the problem is the openings (door...
Does anyone in the group know where there might be info on dissassembly of the DS One-Arm type GoTo mounts. I'd like to get inside to check out the gear meshes...
Jeffrey, You might try the info on Mike Weasners site to be usefull. I just said heck with it and started taking mine apart and found it wasn't that...
How do you get the base apart to get at the guts... I can't find any screws or bolts other than the large bolt under the battery pack... ideas? Warp Jerry...
That is all you have to remove. The cases slide apart and I think Meade uses some kind of a puller that I don't have,(and I have many) but I just used two ...
Anyone happen to have a Meade autostar mount they want to part with a couple of parts from? I just got my DS-2130AT scope that was purchased on eBay :/ (second...
I got one the same way, I sent them an email saying my mount failed and they are sending me a new mount to replace it. hopefully it works... the original...
Meade does not deal with customers via email. The only official way to talk to Meade is via telephone. Many Meade dealers are willing to interact with...
The actual wait time on hold was not that bad. I was worried as well about long hold times, but it was only About 10 minutes before I was on with a live...
As i purchased it via ebay fromt he Meade outlet I contacted them using the ebay system so I dont know the address. the messages I got back came from...

I see in the manual where you have to press the number keys to change speed and when I press them the speed does show on Screen and I am assuming it is...
Ah! Devil in the details! The 495/497 Autostar handles slew speeds differently than the 494 Autostar. Simply press the number keys 0-9 to select slew speed. ...
Chris, I figured that out but it didnt solve my problem. Just an FYI the manual supplement that cam with the 497 still shows being able to use the ? to change...
