I had the same problem, it was my latest java update that was preventing me from linking with my scope, i had to uninstal my java and install an older version,...
Hi folks, i was just wondering how good would be a 10" LX90 for astrophogography and if the Meade Standard wedge would be good enought for the 10 "( and would...
When Meade first moved production to Mexico, they had many, many problems with the 8" LX90. By the time (several months) they got around to the 10" version,...
Hi there, just a quick one. My 10"lx 90 will not travel more than 95 degrees either way in declination. Ive just fitted a peterson clutch but can't for the...
The EZ Clutch installation can't impact the travel. You're probably hitting DEC stops designed into the scope. (Why would you want to slew beyond +/- 90°?) ...
Do you mean that it won't *mechanically* travel? (i.e. unclutched, just grab the OTA and swing) Or are you speaking of Autostar-commanded motions? *and* do you...
Whatever wobbling there is quiets down almost immediately no matter the magnification. The only exception to that is if there is a lot of wind. Fletch Sent...
Does the LX90 10" have stops? ... From: barringtonri Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2012 9:59 AM To: lx90@yahoogroups.com Subject: [lx90] Re: declination travel ...
No, the LX90 does not have hard stops. Dr. Clay _____ Arkansas Sky Observatories MPC H45 - Petit Jean Mountain South MPC H41 - Petit Jean Mountain MPC H43 -...
Then this is indeed a mystery. I suggest that you remove the outside DEC escutcheon plate, reinstall the locking knob, and see if you can observe an...
Several weeks ago I replaced the clutch assembly with the Peterson kit. I took care and I do not think I dropped anything below the worm drive. After...
Gday Hedley It was probably saying "Speed = 1deg/sec" which is what happens when you press the "7" key. As such, you may have a stuck/contaminated key. Look...
Gday Hedley ... Not sure. Consecutive "7"s doesnt trigger any tests, but it may force something to timeout. Also, part of the screen control comes from the...
Hello Andrew, I reassembled the hand controller and tried the "Enter/ Scroll" presses but there was not a flicker. I then tried the Utility Light press but...
Actually it is beginning to sound as if both the power panel circuit board and at least one of the driver PCB boards has had a surge. Dr. Clay _____ Arkansas...
Gday Joe The cable swap is normally done if the motors are playing up. Ie you can happily just put 12V into a 497 handbox ( with no scope connected ) and it...
OOps i read which LED incorrectly. If there is no light AT ALL in the Hbx but the red led by the switch works, it may be the cable. Again, a check if the 5V...
Thanks for advice guys. I have end for ended the cable but, there is not a flicker. Likewise, i have jiggled the cable and that has not produced anything at...
on a similar note. i just bought an EXT90 handset for my LX90. it started scrolloing, then stopped & the power to the handset cut out all together. Any...
Probably a bad cable! My cable that came with my new 8" LX-90 only lasted 4 or 5 oberving sessions. I replaced it with a much better made and much longer...
