Looking at the new reduced prices I'm considering a LX90 12". I currently have a LX10 and autoguide using the LX200 emulator (converts RS232 serial commands ro...
If you get the #909 APM, your current relay solution will still work :-) Personally I use the Kitsrus K108 relay box to do the same thing. This is only...

I have a LX 90 8" that dose not track well. I purchased it used. I finally got the go to working good enough to find M 51. Now I want to take pictures but...
Hi Dan, The LX-90 takes good astroimages. Here are some I took with an average tracking quality mount – 38 arc seconds periodic error with random glitches ...

Hey Dennis, first thing: thank you so much for offering your help. This new language is cool. I started this hobby 2 & 1/2 months ago. I looked at your...
Dennis, I forgot to ask what is a MX 716? Is that a Meade camera?I have the DSI with 3.3 FR. Is the MX a lot higher pixcel range? The Meade DSI Is very low but...
Hello Dan, Something is wrong if Polaris is moving in the eyepiece. To test tracking center a star that is at about a 60 degree elevation to the west and see...
Hi All, Has anyone been using their AS to find Comet 73P fragments? I have notice that with the B fragment the AS is off by about 2d and with the C it misses...
HI Dennis, I did what you said. I put Pollux in the center of the EP & 15 minuets later it was off center to the left mostly but a little upwards too from...
I have just bought an LX90 (GPS 8") so I hope you will forgive a really facile question. I store the telescope under the stairs, is it more sensible to remove...
I just fast-forwarded the AS to the 16th of May 0000UT and the error on fragment B grows too greater than 19degrees. So be warned if it is not quite centered...
Hi, Dan, Dennis, just to pop in here. The percentage setting does nothing at all to the tracking. It is simply a way of compensating for backlash when...
Hi! I'm wondering if there are any folks out there who own an LX90GPS 8" and would like to comment about this scope? I am looking at making my first "big"...
Merilee, I purchased an LX-90 about a year and a half ago, and in terms of ease of setup and use I absolutely love it. My previous scope is a homemade 10" Dob...
On the topic of gear ratios, Peter, perhaps you or one of the other experts in the group can answer this question for me. Like Dan, I noticed that my Az/RA and...
John, Having just purchased an LX90, I've gotten into the habit of removing the SmartFinder lens and storing it in a sandwich bag (sans the sandwich) in my...
There is a difference between ratio and percentage. The percentage is a figure to try to eliminate the backlash and the ratio is set by the telescope model...
Just purchased LPI with Autostar. Loaded software and each time I run program and go to Images/LPI I get an error message "Can't find mscoree.dll? What's up...
Take a look at my website www.cjdawson.com. It's got full instructions. Just watch the polarity, DON'T GET IT WRONG! I've made my own and it's very easy to...
Merilee, I am going to suggest that you consider getting a "used" LX-90 classic. The GPS and LNT thing are really just gimmicks and are not that useful. Once...
Thanks for the response. Yep, it's my understanding that a higher percentage setting causes the scope to respond more quickly when an arrow key is pressed, but...
I have windows xp media center 2004, and have a copy in my windows\system32 folder of a size of 265 kb and dated 9/23/2005. I don't know where it came from,...
Rather than rely on the data in Autostar, I took Dennis Persyk's advice from a posting last week. That is, I downloaded positional data on the B & C fragments...
Hi Peter, Hope you don't mind me popping in like this, but I have been following this thread and was interested in your comments to Dan regarding the backlash...
... Read my backgrounder at: http://www.weasner.com/etx/autostar/as_info.html The "ratios" describe the physical number of gear teeth and encoder vane...
