Had a similar problem last year. Replaced the CR2032 to no avail, then checked the 12v battery I use to power the telescope, which was just over 12 volts....
I'm a new member to the group and I recently bought an 8" LX90 GPS ACF from a friend who used it only a couple of times before deciding it is too big and heavy...
Welcome to owning an LX90, sounds like you've got the same model I recently bought. Despite being a newbie myself, I'd like to off a few suggestions to get the...
Trevor answered (1) and (2) quite well, but he told "how" not "if" on the Updating question. Turn on the scope, and after the usual time/date stuff, menu to...
Thanks! I am sufficiently aware of my shortcomings to try to update, especially after your detailed advice. I will see how everything works for a while before...
I've been trying to use PHD guiding with my LX90 and have found that the Dec pulses go to RA. I understand I need to put a patch on the software of my 497EP...
Gday Arthur ... Annoying, isnt it :-) ... Correct ... NO. Do not use it. It was an attempt to allow "pulseguidng" in AltAz, but it is very "iffy" in operation ...
Andrew, Thanks that's very clear. I can now do this with a lot more confidence. The configuring of the patch for parking, is that done within Starpatch? Is it...
Gday Arthur ... No ... Yes, but you need to do it in hexadecimal. Windows calculator can convert this for you. To set your own specified position, you need to...
Thanks to Kent and Peter that provided good leads and some parts I needed my LX90 classic is back up and running. I went out last night and had great time...

I had imaged this many years ago with my LX-90 and cooled CCD camera. I've taken a step backwards! The DSLR doesn't do as well as the cooled astro cam. And I...

I recently traded my late 90s lx10 (plus cash) for an early 00s lx90. The decals on both OTAs read "EMC." However, unlike the lx10, the metal rim around the...
The EMC coatings were pretty standardly incorrectly referred to often as "UHTC" coatings, even as far back as the classic LX200's; you have the EMC coatings ...
Hi Bruce I was researching this question recently - because I wondered if it would be safe to put my cruddy corrector plate through the dishwasher :-) . One...
Del, Makes sense. My lx10 had EMC decals and coatings but the corrector plate rim didn't read "Ultra High Contrast." If "Ultra High Contrast" doesn't mean UHTC...
Dear All I am selling my LX90 GPS (purchased October 2006) together with its field tripod and wedge. If anyone is interested please email me direct and I will...
Hello, Yesterday I had a verry good night in Belgium at least;-) I have taken shots of the M3-5-13-56-57-92 I used a LX 10" and focal reducer +DSI Pro III and...
Hi, I have an LXD75 that has a bad RA motor assembly and I am hoping that Ron Sampson is still around and could fix my mount for less than the $130.00 that...
Ron does not work on LX90 electronics, only Classic LX200 at this time. Nonetheless, I am forwarding this request to him. Dr. Clay _____ Arkansas Sky...
Hi, I'm new to the LX90 group. I have had a similar problem recently with the GPS on the LX90. Since my local friend Jon H. bought his 8" LX90 (no LNT) new...
