Sorry it took so long to reply but resetting is to easy to skip when all else fails. Also if it hasn't been that long, can't remember when you sent it in,...
As Bob suggested, it's recommended that the concrete for the pier be separate from the floor to eliminate vibration transmission. Another suggestion, may be...

Hi all, I have polar mount and I can' t track anything. I do the easey alignment, having leveled the tripod and wedge, BUT when I center for example a star,...
Ok, I know this may sound silly, but did you also change the mount type in the autostar controller to equatorial? It's somewhere under telescope setup menu I...
Whilst we're at it, you are targeting astronomical targets right? If the scope is in terrestrial mode, the object will move out of the FOV quickly. Regards ...
If you complete the Easy Alignment Sequence, the Autostar will automatically select Astronomical for you, you don't have to do that manually. If you look at...
Hi all, I have received much help here trying to get the LX 90 8" I got used to track good enough to take pictures of DSO. Now it has a new problem in that the...
... Both symptoms could be caused by damage to the power copper traces on the panel behind the sockets/power switch. When you were voltmetering the APM, was...
The #1206 uses 12V. I'd suggest that you disconnect the motor unit from the scope and see if it works like that. This link shows you how to make a hand...
Phil, Thanks for the info on Rod Molise's book. I just ordered it. I still like Manly's book even if it is out of date. It's like having a time capsule of...
Walt Glad you are buying the book. I have Manly's book too, which was apparently the bible in its day. I definitely prefer the Mollise book. Let me know if you...
Hi all, This is my first image of Jupiter this season. As Jupiter only gets as high as 32 degrees for me this year, it has been very difficult getting a decent...
Outstanding imagery, Iver. Could you post some information on your setup, especially the guiding? Clear skies, Dennis Persyk Igloo Observatory Home Page...
Hi Dennis, my setup is an 8" LX-90, SXV-H9,SXV guider,6.3 reducer flatter. The image scale is about 1.2 arc sec per pixel binned 1x1. I took 30 L frames and 8...
Beautiful image Iver. I assume the setup is on a wedge then? Gives me hope I can some day come close to that. :-) Excellent work. Daniel ... From: Iver To:...
Your images are incredible, I just purchased an 8" LX90 LNT and seeing your pictures is great inspiration. I have not yet decided on an imager or accessories...
G'day guys, Just in to say hi and pick your brains for the learning curve I have found myself in.... scarey stuff. I'm not new to astronomy and have been...
Stephen, If the computer finds the second star reasonably accurately, the only thing I can think of is your initial position. Do you have the polar home...
G'day Kel, down here, "down under", the lx90lnts park position is correctorplate end pointing at the SCP and the lnt and guide scope underneath. when I...
Thanks Colin, I did a test on the focuser and it works. So it must be the APM or the scope, LX90 8". The scope might be going back any ways. I'm thinking of...
Notice this is 1209, not 1206. The 1206 posting got me to thinking I should update what seemed to be a never-ending problem. Months back, I had mentioned that...
Hi Stephen, G'day to you from Perth! I've a very similar setup to you, but without any luck in getting my way with a permanent pier or roll-off roof shed. I...
Excellent pics Iver ... Hi,the weather has been better the last few weeks and I was able to do some imaging. Hope you like it and thanks for looking. Iver ...
I have an LX90-10. I really like the scope but I've never been all that excited about the tripod and mount. The system is a bit awkward to seat on the tripod....
Is there Joe? I checked in the online LX90 User Guide and couldn't find anything. I'm here at work so I can't check out the Autostar settings. I presume it...
