Operating the Meade LX-200

Notes

1. Always use the handset to move the scope. Do not release the ra or dec

locks. There are four speeds available:

SLEW (# 7 on the handset) is the fastest,

FIND (#4) medium speed,

CENTER (#1) for eyepiece adjustments, and

GUIDE (#0) for long exposure image corrections.

Press one of these buttons and a light will come on next to it. You

can now use the direction keys (NESW) to move the telescope.

2. Be careful not to flip the north/south switch located under the power switch

when turning the telescope on or off. This should always be in the north

position.

3. Watch the handset cord to make sure it doesn't get wrapped around other

cords and snag while the telescope moves.

4. If the lens becomes covered in dew, often mistaken for a focus problem, use

the hair dryer on the telescope tube until the dew evaporates. Do not blow

onto the lens directly.

Startup

• Power up the computer and camera as normal and start CCDOPS.

• Turn on the telescope by sliding the switch located on the upper right of the

faceplate at the telescope base. A red light will come on.

• After focusing, center the telescope on a known bright star. And adjust the

setting circle.

• You can use the telescope now by driving it with the handset as described in

the notes above, or set up the automatic controls so it will drive itself to your

object of choice.

Automatic Mode

• With the telescope centered on the known bright star, turn to page 31 in the

manual. Find the star in the table and get its star number.
