This sounds like a dirty or loose encoder. There is also the possibility that the batteries are low. While the electronics in Meade scopes are not shielded in...
There has been a comment on another group that cellphones can cause random slewing on certain go-to scopes. I have a DS-2090 made in 2008, the roller bearing...
They are getting harder and harder to find. People use them to adapt just about every brand of GEM to goto. Bill Vorce of Telescope Warehouse had some at last...
Just buy a new 10" with a goto. I bought the Orion EQ-G goto mount for my Old 80's DS-10 and its still under size when I add a guider scope and 2 cameras. Next...

Unfortunately these scopes have one problem that will keep you from collimating it. That stupid barlow/corrector lense in the focuser. First check if it is...
I need some help with Scope Collimation for my meade 114-eq ast. I tried collimating it last night and although everything lined up it still slews images if...

It is kind of a long list. Let's start with the DS80. First I bought a 497 Autostar to replace the 494 these usually come with, then a spare set of motors with...

Gabe, If you do some research you can find an 8" Dobsonian scope for right around $200. Try Orion's website first as the intelliscope, while costing a little...
Great, I really appreciate your reponce, I will save up more money for a better one. They are both around $200 at Costco and Sams, but I think I should save...
