Anyone out there have any experience (good or otherwise) using Orion's Starseek program to control their lx-90? I've seen it in action and since I really...
Andrew, I do have an LX90 with the GPS and I have the A1F7 firmware loaded so I'm guessing it is not detecting the GPS bump at boot. That doesn't sound good....
Hi Sean I use the Orion Star Seek WiFi control module and run Ski Safari Pro on my Ipad and it works great. Ski Safari Pro has a real large data base of...
I opted to go with the OEM version of the hardware and software. Both are originally made by Southern Stars. The wifi module is called "SkyFi" and the...
Gday Mark It may just be a loose cable connector which is easily checked. If not, it may be the GPS lump that is dead, it may be the DEC card or it may also be...
The connection is in the fork arm, not in the "bump"....you will need to remove the plastic cover and examine both the connections to the small circuit board...
I think there are instructions on the Yahoo Files site; very specific. The cover comes off from the inside (6 screws); remove the setting circle and knob on...
Hi Hassan, There really is no need to spend hard earned cash. As tasty alternative to Peter's suggestion (Hi Peter, long time no speaks) I used the top off a...
Hi, I noticed that my friend Jon H's LX90 8" has NO backlash in the focusser that I can detect (compared to my Meade 7" Mak ex-LX50 which has a ton of horrid...
Many years ago when I first got my second hand Lx90 classic it had internal cells installed. One evening I asked the scope to slew to Mars. The scope told me...
Disagree. Though you have had a bad experience, Meade would not manufacture a product knowing a high likelihood of customer dissatisfaction. Although you have...
Update. Found out that the scope would not power on at all with batteries. Talked to Meade and they sent me a prepaid label to ship the scope back. They are...
Bill, A counterweight is necessary. Any significant weight, especially off-center like a camera mounted piggyback, can cause drive problems or affect go-to...
I agree Willem, I am running on 26e and never had a moments trouble. My classic lx90 was manufactured in 2001 My problem is what to replace it with when it...
Hi DaveE, I now have the Marmite screw lid (Yellow) but dont see how to place it onto a Meade LK90. Any chanch of a photo or hints on how to put it all...
Hello Mark' Nice to hear from you. I live in north Leeds near Shadwell. I think the chances of clear skies for anything except the odd night is rather...
Hi john, so easy of Leeds is just south of tadcaster for me. I think your right about clear skies though!! My lx90 is about 7 or 8 years old now, and to be...
Hello Mark, Thanks for your reply. I am a member of the West Yorkshire Astronomical Society. Although because of my wife's health I have not been attending...
Meade has certainly had a lot of product introduction problems of late, but they are not alone. Competition and Chinese QC are causing problems for many...

Hi Iain, Sorry for the delay in replying. Make a hole in the centre of the lid to match the diameter of the focus knob into which you need to fit a standard...
Hi Iain, The little diagram I posted is displayed slightly misaligned. You'll need to shift the top and bottom line to the right in your mind to align them...
Hi Dave, Yeah I guessed things were a little off, but it did not take long to sort it out. Should be up and running, once the bad weather moves on Thanks Iain...
