#Unrespnonsive meade autostar reset update#

I believe, when you update the handset, it updates the reset feature as well. StarLock together with the built-in GPS also ensure a quick and easy initialisation of the mount at the start of an eveningРІР‚в„ўs observing. Hi Kermitto, In all honesty, I would either call customer support at the Meade number, 80, if you live in the United States where that free number is available, or email them at. StarLock cameras are equipped with computer control (GoTo) for precise tracking for astrophotography. The LX850 mount carries the optics with every conceivable accessory without a problem. The focusing system allows precise focusing with the 7:1 reduction and it does this without any irritating main mirror shift! It therefore meets the high demands of astrophotographers. This ACF technology guarantees a high-contrast, sharp image right to the edge. Like all Meade SC optics, the LX850 are also optically corrected.

The LX850 series conprises compact Schmidt-Cassegrain optics a with fast aperture ratio of f/8. They are the gold standard for astrophotography and visual performance with a high level of user-friendliness! I've had an email conversation with the chap who wrote this page about a crashed #494 : but no luck unfortunately.Р”В®dited to add : I've contacted the UK importer of Meade ( Broadhurst Clarkson & Fuller Ltd) but so far I've had no reply.Telescopes from Meade's LX850 series are the result of decades of development. I don't mine 'getting my hands dirty', can wield a soldering iron, have a pretty good 'parts bin' and have nothing to lose by poking around inside the handset so I'm open to ideas. Unfortunately (after buying the setup) I'm not in a position to buy a replacement handset (and won't be for some time :/ ) Has anyone else had this issue and successfully managed to overcome it? That means that its primary calculations are done with temporary storage of only +127 to -128.

That chip includes on-chip timers, parallel and serial ports and an analog-to-digital converter, which the Autostar uses to monitor the battery voltage.

I have googled this until my fingers hurt and it seems to happen now and again.unfortunately without a definitive fix. The computer portion of the Autostar is the Motorola 68HC11. The only buttons which would work then were the up/down/left/right ones. When it asked for the 'Daylight Savings' settings, although it let me change from Y to N, it froze after pressing enter. The next evening I switched it back on, the handset did the usual 'Initialising.', bleeped, warned me about looking at the sun (and let me press the button to say I'read it) and prompted for the date which I duly entered, along with the time. I then used it briefly one night - did a 2 star alignment just to make sure the goto was working okay.Р”В®verything appeared to be fine so I 'parked' the scope, switched the mount off and brought it inside. It seems to be the same issue as was posted (about 4 years ago) on another site here : Р”Р„s soon as it arrived I powered it up and had a 'quick play' with it, making sure the motors worked etc. Firstly, I apologise if this is in the wrong forum, but as it's pretty much DIY related I thought this one would be the best (but please feel free to move it to a more appropriate one if necessary)Р”В«asically, I'm having a problem with my #494 controller (on a DS2000 series mount), bought 2nd hand from eBay a few weeks ago.
