Hi, yes it always points acuratly, spot on the target.No matter where you move your head, what ever angle you look through it, the red dot always stays in the...
Mike, Thanks for the link. I have downloaded AutostarX and I get the same message as you when I try it. Out of interest where have you heard that Meade will...
Hi Luther, I'm still in the process of adding the equipment and links pages to the site. It's been a while since I worked on these, so I should probably get...
Hi Tom, Thanks for the link. REF: The DSLR Focus Under the Requirements it says about Canon Remote Capture that allows downloading of images from your camera...
Remote capture comes on the software CD (or at least it did with my 10D) so you should have it already, if not I seem to remember you can download it from the...
Hi I usually set up my lx90 by adjusting the legs of the tripod as I tighten so that the spreader bar touches each of the legs as I tighten the screw into the...
Nights are cooler than days. Metal contracts with cold. So at night your original tightening probably becomes a bit extra tight. Pete Peterson ... tighten ...
Hi When running guided tours on the autostar i found it difficult to get out of them. Sometimes a long press on the mode button was enough to get out, other...
Bert, The only graceful exit from a guided tour is to hold the "Mode" key for 2 - 3 seconds. I'm unaware of any other method to terminate a tour. Joe Walker ...
Hi All, When you enter Dec and RA into the Autostar, does it use Epoch 2000 or current date coordinates? There probably isn't much difference at the moment but...
Hi Joe Pressing the mode button for a few seconds works for the "Tonights Best Tour". However for some of the tours I have loaded down from the files section I...
What's the bottom line with everybody? Classic versus the new LX90? I have a classic. 6 years old, UHTC, black rims. I been out of the loop for the past couple...
Everything is hardwired as J2000 except the planets, Moon, Asteroids and comets. They hose are calculated based on current elements loaded into AutoStar....
I have taken some pictures using the digi-t and Canon G1 which is very similar to your G3. The main difficulty I find is trying to get good focus. Exposure...
I bought my LX-90 in 2001, it's still going strong. I don’t see any reason to "upgrade" except to get the new "features" which really aren't worth dumping...
Bert, Using the Mode key to exit a tour is an Autostar function and not programmed as part of a tour. Some Autostar keys may require more pressure to operate...
The GPS and LNT are NOT worth the cost of upgrading. They mainly seem to be added gadgets that Meade put in to bump the competition up a notch. As far as I...
Thank You George. As I learned today from a Meade Rep, The GPS only enables the user to set up it's home or current viewing location. Other than that it is...
... For numbers -entered- on the keypad (or in a Tour), they're treated as "current date" (no precession is applied). As Kevin posted, the -cataloged- data...
Joe Dont think it was the key as the display flickered when i pressed the mode key but it just would not go up the menu tree until i down arrowed all the way...
It is the newer SmartFinder module, although I believe it dates from Oct 2005, so not that new. On the face of it the design is an improvement on the older...
I am with Kevin on this one. Why would I want to get rid of a scope that has worked perfectly for going on 6 years just to add a few features. With my luck...
I use an Orion EZ finder and one of their RACI finders. Together, all bases are covered. Joe Pat Chaney <pat@...> wrote: It is the newer SmartFinder...
Most of us can align the scope quicker than an LNT can. Location can be found on a number of maps, on and offline; or a GPSr. Time can me had from a cheap...
