-Hi Mike...just read your post. We must have submitted about same time.See my post #69845...I have the Meade cable and am having same "loose" connection...
... I can't speak for the -exact- socket Meade uses in the LX90. In a "typical" socket of this style, the pin is peened like a rivet into a piece of metal at...
Vince, You are in the same boat I have been in. I took the cover off and the power panel to see if the DC jack is replaceable, the answer is no. The...
Bruce and Dick Thank you guys for your input on this. It at least gives me some idea of where I stand so I can figure which is the best way to go here. Vince M...

... Meade seems to have expanded their idea of whether they'll sell replacement parts to end users (there's a "replacement parts" link on their website). But i...
Hi Vince I had the same loose connection in the DC jack, but mine was caused by the 12 volt external cable getting caught during a slew operation and before I...
Hi All, I recently received Bob's Knobs to replace the stock collimation screws. in my LX90 (8"). I have read and copied lots of posts regarding this change...
... Look into the rear of the telescope -now-. See your eyeball in the center, and the surrounding reflection of the baffle tube and the main mirror. If the...
Steve, I first placed a pin hole in a box and put a lamp in the box and did a rough collimation using the box and inside from the air conditioned comfort of my...
Hello guys, I have bought my LX90 for almost six months. I was just doing some "not so serious" astrophotography session. I was just taking the photos of...
Hi Chaps. Just thought I'd put my two pennoth in (A Yorkshire phrase sorry) What I did to help with slew snagging of the cable is cut the cable from a...
Hi Kim, For me the wedge is essential. Its more accurate, you can just rely on there RA drive if your polar alignment is good, and you images will be better ...
No, but you need a lot more equipment. I have been using my LX90 for imaging for several years and It works just fine provided you do some homework. You will...
Hi Bob, Great pics on your site. I was wondering I have the Megrez scope also. How do you hook up your focal reducers to the scope, is there a common...
Help! Hi All...I did as Dr. Clay recommended and removed the top screw only (OTA level) after backing out each 1/8 of a turn. There was a definite ping and...
Steve, You can press in on the head of the other screws to cause the threaded "socket" to move closer to the hole, thus easier to reach. You may have to...
You had all three screws in entirely too far and too tight; I suggest that you proceed slowly, by releasing the remaining screws by just a bit more....then...
Thank you Alan & Dr. Clay for your advice. I was able to get all 3 knobs in. Now I have another question. Dr. Clay mentioned that my initial screws were too...
At this point if you can get them all in and all feel to have equal resistance when turning clockwise, then I would not worry about their depth or chances of...
If anyone is familiar with this collimator, how does it compare with some of the others such as the Kendrick for example? Would you recommend this product?...
Kim, Astrophotography is not so easy, but I enjoy it a lot. Be prepared to spend lots of your time working up the learning curve. You can image without a...
you can buy a 2" to SCT adapter. I thought I got mine from OPT. Check their web site. This assumes you are talking about the Meade reducer with the SCT....
I recently installed a set of knobs and had the same experience of not being able to, at least initially, thread one of them in. I had never touched the...
- John...good idea...thanks VinceM ... caused by the 12 volt external cable getting caught during a slew operation and before I could stop the scope the damage...
Let me just add that you don't *need* a wedge. The purpose of a wedge is to avoid field-rotation in long exposures. An alternative (what I do), is to take many...
While you can do limited imaging without a wedge (I noticed your shots were less than 2 minutes total in length) for the brighter objects like the moon and...
The last few years I've gotten into the habit of not keeping the Autostar in its handle-mounted holster. It's just never in a good spot there for some reason,...
