The Autostars don't need a daylight savings patch. You tell the Autostar during bootup if daylight savings is currently in effect or not and the Autostar uses...
She who must be obeyed gave me a Meade DS2114ATS for Christmas and I finally got to start using it without freezing certain parts of my body off. I love the...
You can focus the moon but not a star? Very odd. You should have no trouble focusing stars with the eyepieces that came with your scope. Did you get a 26mm...
Ok, no big difference there. You are using the diagonal and you've racked the focuser fully in/out and can not achieve focus on a star? I have no idea what can...
I am not sure what you mean by diagonal. I have an astronomy club close, so I will contact them to see when they meet and if they are willing to help. I am...
Barry, My first DS2114AT came to me with the corrector lens in the focuser rolling around in the tube when I unpacked it. Meade sent me another one and I had...
No. The 506 cable only works with the 494 Autostar. The 505 cable works with the 495/497 Autostars. "My advice is free and worth every penny!" -Christopher...
Hi, yesterday I mounted my DS2090 on top of my C11. It had been a while since I looked through that scope and I was again surprised how nice the view was given...
has anyone a diagram for the cable used to connect the 494 to a pc? Also i would like to ask what the latest software for the 494 is and were i can get it. ...
The 494 cable can't be easily duplicated. It has electronics in the middle of the cable. The 595 cable can be duplicated but it only works with the 497...
Horst, the 494 cable actually has some active electronics in it, it is different than just a simple cable with a different pinout. From what I have gathered,...
And the 497 does so much more too! "My advice is free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson Network Design Engineer 5432 E. Northern Lights Blvd.,...
I love it when I find a product that really works as it should. I recently purchased a new astro chair and was so impressed with it that I just had to write a...
Hi All, I am new to this group, and i bought a DS 2130AT for our daughter for Christmas about 4 or 5 years ago. I am tryin to re-wire it to a 12 volt lawnmower...
Look in the Files and Links sections of this group. There are lots of things you can do to make the scope work better. Make sure you put all the parts back in...
You can easily make a power supply work for the Autostar mount. The motors are actually 12 volt motors and the mount works with much more authority at that...
Thank You very much for the info, I will take a look at all the info here i can find..I am just afraid of all the aritcles i read about this scope that it...
What I did was get another one of the 9V plugs at Radio Shack. I think a pack of three or four was two or three dollars. You can just turn it around to plug...
I turned on the scope today, and it worked just fine...hmmmm i guess i just needed to walk away for awhile..I have been watchin the meade videos on their...
Good! If you have any trouble with alignment, just holler. If the image is fuzzy or something, it will probably need to be colimated. They give instructions...
