Hello all, I've added new pictures in my home page somme mosaics of rilles and also new (old)places like landing site of the appollo's The weather here is not...
I don't think they'd have to hack your email to post to the group. Simply sending an email to the group with the reply-to set to your email address could...
they'd sent loads of emails all the same to various contacts this group included,have changed my password for all the good it will do, in my sent box was about...
I'm planning to use my LX90 8" to photograph the transit also. I've been experimenting, and here's what seems to work for me: - I'm using a full-aperture...
Hi Group First post after First Light on my LX-90 8" ACF, on a slightly chilly Sydney Australia night. Saturn was our highlight with clean rings and moons...
I usually just leave the eyepiece in place and cover it with a very small version of a "shower cap." Tupperware, I guess you have that down under, sells small...
Thanks for sharing (and for direct email). After also consulting my local scope shop, I've settled on removing the diagonal and popping the compass straight in...
Excellent. Whatever you use it should be reasonably air tight to prevent moisture from reaching your scope while it warms up. I've seen some excellent hard...
Hey Trevor Quick thought on cases. You might consider using the foam from your packaging for the telescope and a musical instrument case like a drum case. It...
Hi Trevor, Neither your scope nor your tripod are so heavy that they're difficult to carry around. Why would you want to add the weight of a case? I simply...
Hi Trevor, I got my LX90 back in 2001. Back then I built the carrying case by fitting a duffel bag (basic model with wheels and handle) with 2 or 3 layers of...
Well, I did it! A $30 suitcase, $35 worth of 25mm (1 Inch)Etha Foam for a liner and my case is complete. Photos are in 'New LX90 8" portable case' folder. ...
Twice tonight my GPS failed to even start up and do its thing. Instead I was asked to enter todays date and then time. Any quick fix to make the GPS behave ? ...
If it *instantly* gave that prompt, that means that it's not even *seeing* the GPS unit existing on the AUX bus. Therefore check the wiring. If it took a...
I don't know if the LX90's GPS module has a CR2032 battery inside it to maintain the receiver's "almanac" between sessions... if so, it's probably time to...
Thanks Dick. I discovered that the GPS unit has a very firm top cap (plastic), which is proving very difficult to remove. It seems to be just a press fit,...
It *could* be that the battery in your viewfinder has gone flat (or you've unplugged it). I don't recall precisely, but the Autostar may require that the LNT...
Spot on Dick, your a Whiz Kid, I'll have to try and buy you a beer sometime ! Yeah, it was the LNT module battery, which ran out of juice. The GPS is now ...
Gday Dick The LX90 will totally ignore the LNT clock if it detects a GPS capable "card" is fitted to the scope. Ie Even if the GPS is OFF, dead, or not even...
Gday Iain That is truly weird??????? There is no way for the backup battery in the LNT to affect the GPS unit ( that i can see ). I never doubt reality...
Hi New to this group and the LX90 and saw this thread. I bought my LX90 from a enthusiast in Eastern Australia and he shipped it to Perth for me. He has had...
Hi there Andrew, I have no idea how it worked, but it did. It may have been just a coincidence. I tried quite a few times to to boot up the scope, but...
Andrew, it looks like you were right. Despite starting the scope three times a few hours ago and having the GPS start up each time, it just failed again ! ...
Carlos This is a nice setup. I am living in Adelaide (South Australia) and have been looking for a professional case for a long time, but have found importing...
So i return to my original theory that it's a loose cable, connector or pin (the insulation-displacement connections can "relax" and release the wire that's...
