Hey guys: I was hoping someone could help me out with this. I have a great telescope now, the Meade 7" Mak GPS. I love it so much in fact, that I would never...
Okay Niall, you have effectively scared me away from those beasties. I took Dick's advice and measured the resistance across the buttons on the keypad and...
When I was out last night, I noticed that I have some play in Azimuth. With the Az locked I could move the scope a little by wiggling the handles. I had a look...
Hi everyone this is my first posting since becoming a member yesterday and I am not too sure if this may be too wordy. I hope I can be of use as an lx90 owner...
Chris, Yes I do have the 12"LX90, even though I haven't seen it in the past 7 months because I'm working over here in Guam. The weight is correct, the...
This really sounds like the telescope is attempting to recenter your target; I would suggest that you Calibrate Motors and then Train Drives carefully. Many...
Oh, there is one thing, Chris. Myself and other LX90 and LX200 owners have had problems with the clutch. In my case, it finally became stripped. The...
I have the 12" LX 90, Chris. It is about 60 lbs, so it's not exactly a joy to move, but I don't mind it much. I don't have a special carrying case for it. It's...
I am a satisfied 8" LX-90 owner. KEEP that scope for you will appreciate having it.Upgrade to a larger scope, but keep in mind the old formula of 8"per "of...
Seems my initial post didn't go through, as far as I can tell .... ... I have the 12" LX 90, Chris. It is about 60 lbs, so it's not exactly a joy to move, but...
I'm just curious if anyone has tried this or would know off the top of your head ... Since I own an LX90, I'm wondering if a LX200 OTA would mount on my fork...
The OTA from the LX200 will not fit on the LX 90 mount, nor will the LX90 tube assembly fit onto the LX200 mount; they are totally different rear cell mount...
Althouh I'm not an expert, I agree with Dr. Clay in that the optics from the LX90 thru the RCX are the same. However there are other OTA mechanical upgrades on...
Hello everyone. I can't find my answer in the archives, so I'll post this question: Can you change the goto slew speed, other than highest or to quiet slew?...
Brian, The following is directly from the LX-90 manual: Slew Speeds Autostar has nine slew speeds that are directly proportional to the sidereal rate and have...
That's why I have my scope downstairs now and only have one small step for the sliding back door out to the backyard. Luther P.S. I'm pushing 200lbs also Tom...
... Thanks Tom. I guess you don't know that every Lx200 has that problem too. The Peterson clutch kit is a simple yet very effective answer as I have installed...
... past 7 months because I'm working over here in Guam. The weight is correct, the telescope itself is 60 lbs and the tripod is 19. I wouldn't trade it for...
... appreciate having it.Upgrade to a larger scope, but keep in mind the old formula of 8"per "of aperture .10" or larger will make a visual difference.If you...
Hi, Joe, Unfortunately Brian was asking about the GOTO slew speeds, not the manual ones. And afaik the only ones available are indeed Maximum or 'Quiet' (1.5...
Inside the AutoStar, at Speed=9, a CONTINUOUS 'dc' supply is fed to the axis drive motor. The voltage of this feed is effectively the incoming DC supply...
Hi, Niall, I think you'll find on examining the LX90 GPS and LNT manuals that the 'Quiet' speed for the LX90 actually corresponds to speed 7 (1.5 deg/sec) - a...
Hi Dr. Clay, Thanks for the speedy response.I did follow your complete guide to performance enhancement which included Calibrate motors and Train drives before...
... Actually, i think it's speed 8 (i.e. half of Max) So 3 deg/sec instead of whatever-Max-is (differs between models of Autostarred scopes). ... ..and i'm...
... correct, your scope needs to be re-trained. Do an accurate re-training and DO NOT reverse directions if you miss your target--- start over again. Also make...
