Well, I've been using the My Sky since I got it several days ago as it came from Meade. I just got around to buying a SD Card reader to do an update today....
... Yes; the acquisition provides the date, time, latitude and longitude all of which are necessary to determine where objects are located in the sky from your...
The star chart is difficult to read on the mySky’s LCD screen. Does the mySky accurately identify and GoTo stars that you can recognize? _____ From:...
Thad, The mySky that I am using does not require re-acquiring GPS acquisition if your location remains the same and you have not removed/replaced the ...
This is precisely why I'm paranoid about updating ANY firmware! There is absolutely NO excuse for Meade or any other vendor to put us in such a "catch 22"...
What really irks me is that Calibration data must be in volatile memory for this to happen. This is purely poor design on Meades part - calibration data should...
... Actually, if it's designed like the Autostars, the calibration data is in non-volatile memory (the SD card)... but they could have reassigned/rearranged...
Was the SD card that came with you mySky a generic non-brand or a name brand? I suggest asking Meade Customer Solutions to send a replacement SD card....
... My *guess* would be it ("Calibration Data") would be the results of a factory test compensating for sensor offsets after manufacture, and if it goes...
... In the 497 Autostar, they do keep that stuff separate in the M68hc11's on-chip 512-byte EPROM. In the Autostar II, which uses the same chip, they don't... ...
... Dunno. Which also begs the question: is the mySKY program code running from the SD card (gee, that's potentially slow :-) or is it transferred to RAM for...
Does anyone have the cable to hook up MySky to a telescope??? Has anyone successfully guided a scope??? I don't understand the tech stuff but would certainly...
The card in my unit was an off the shelf Sandisk, and according to the guy on the phone was not the source of the problem - hence the return for repair. $9.50...
After many tries with MyFlop I'm on the verge of returning it. I've tried the sat and the manual and neither can identify Neptune or Antares. Meade should be...
Bill, My unit also did not show this feature until after I received a replacement SD card from Meade and successfully acquired GPS fix. After I installed the...
... I would suggest waiting for Meade to issue a firmware update(s) before abandoning mySKY; Meade seldom gets things "right" with early software versions. ...
It is great to see that the SkyScout can be mounted so close to the metal tube of your scope and keep its targeting accuracy. I will give it a try. _____ ...
What's the optimal positions for these. Mine were very tight up against each other and very near the plug. I moved them apart and back in order to provide some...
When I used the earbuds that came with the Meade mySky I used them without changing the position of those clunky looking things (electronic/magnetic ...
Wonder what those blocks are for ? I hate ear buds so will probably try to go with a nice pair of Koss over-the-head phones I have ... ... without ... ...
... They could serve either (or both) of two purposes: (a) to prevent high frequency electronic noise from radiating -from- the MySky to cause local radio...
Movement of the display seems to occur as a series of discrete jumps, rather than a smooth continuous motion. This appears to be normal, but I just wanted to...
Instruction manual seems totally deplorable. That being said, then specifically, exactly how does one get into the Demo mode, or say any mode other than the...
... Is that how it's documented (connect to laptop instead of AutoStar) in the manual? The mySKY manual isn't online yet, hence my question. Meade's...
When connecting to a Meade telescope, I would think that you are correct. I have not noticed instructions on connectivity in the brief manual. I was guessing...
