Jason, I've observed the same situation. The Dec on the other hand is pretty solid. I'm also curious to hear from the Doc or someone else about this...

Hi Marc, I spent the other night closely examining the R.A. gear and block to see if I could adjust it or glean something out of looking at it. The DEC and...
Jason; Try stretching the spring slightly, making a just a bit longer. This will increase the amount it's compressed when installed, increasing the pressure...
That's a good idea. I was just now thinking I could drop a little spacer in the spring guide hole to compress the spring further..I didn't think about...
Hi I have installed a 2amp quick blow fuse in the positive power lead. I use a auto powerpack(jump start unit) to supply the LX90. Is the 2amp fuse rating...
Y'all help me out a minute. If you stretch the spring and then put it back I know it will increase the pressure but is that permanent? Will the spring ...
Sorry but the fuse does not protect against reverse polarity or spikes. Fuses will blow in milliseconds (even fast-blow at high overloads). Solid state devices...
Don't know, Alan. Being an electro-optical guy, I was asking one of the Mech Engineers at work about this problem, but everybody kind of went home early...
This is an interesting point, there must be an market here for a protection dongle that plugs into the scope power socket and you plug your external power pack...
Alan; It'll stay where you stretch it to, else it would permanently compress in its normal configuration also. I did mine several months ago and it's still...
Does anyone have a pound/inch figure for the original spring? That would help in determining what's too stiff and what's not to begin with. After many have...
Rather than a rectifier diode across the supply, a diode in series with the supply will definitely prevent reverse voltage. But there is a penalty to pay of a...
If a spring of the same dimensions but just a touch stiffer could be found, that'd be great..a perfect solution. Putting a filler into the hole to attain the...
Hi... Meade has posted version 32Ea of the 497 firmware. http://www.meade.com/support/auto/Build.zip And it adds PEC to ***all*** Polar-mountable Autostarred...
Dick, Thanks for posting this, can't wait to give it a whirl, of course, these clouds would actually have to move on first LOL. Stephen P. Hamilton ...
Dick, Sounds great for those wanting PEC. Thanks for the heads-up. Do you have any idea if they fixed the creep after beep issue? Wayne Reed In a message...
Note that the "creep after beep" is not a firmware bug; it is a mechanical issue that is typically caused by a binding of the worm gear to the driver (or one...
Hi Michael, I thought about doing that, because then you would have an idea of what range of spring strengths to order. We have the equipment to measure...
I must admit I haven't used my scope much over the last 8 months due to a cloudy winter and spring. I'm now getting ready for an annual star party and am...

... Yes. It's done just like the LX200gps, except for the lack of the LX200gps's magnetic index sensor (which allows "park-less" location of the first Segment...
This is very good news (I think), especially as there were doubts that this could be done at the level of firmware. Can anyone give me a link to further...
