Meade4504Telescopes eGroup Anniversary, 9/14/2006, 2:15 am Hey Jim, Wherever you may be now, thanks for this group and congrats to all for the 6th anniversary....
Hi all. New to group. I own a f8 4.5 Tasco/eq1 (bought from qvc for 100usd total, about 3yr ago). About the same as a 4504/eq1 I would think. The Tasco has...
Hi Griff Nice to hear from you and welcome aboard. Uhhhh, where'd you get the spiffy primary, if you don't mind my asking? And was it easy to mount/realign? ...
... for ... A ... woods). ... LOL, One of my winter projects will be fitting a very nice Russian 4.5" mirror to a new 114 tube. I've had a few of the DS2000s...
Have seen info in net forums that some 4504 motors will attach to the LXD300. Would a 492 or 493 set of motors/controllers work on the LXD300? Will a Autostar...
... Not hard to replace. Just take out old mirror and put new one in. You may have some mm difference on mirror cell. I don't know if the Coulter fits exactly...
Anyone interested in a Meade 4504 with the static cling plastic still on the controller and with the original box. The battery clip is broken, otherwise ...
This is the whole scope with stand and controller in the original box. It has a couple lens with the Barlow tube. One lens is bent inward on an edge, but...
Hi. New to the group. Some lowlife has stolen the equa. mount, cradle rings and goto drives from my back garden. Totally useless to the thief, he (she?) didn't...
Have you sold the scope? Bob ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection...
Anyone knowing of any groups or clubs in the South Jersey (williamstown, winslow, turnersville, sicklerville area) I have a meade 114 mm telescope that is...
dont know if anyone touched on this subject yet but here goes. I have a 114mm 4401 long tube, (just slightly older than the 4501) I think this scope has a...
Mike, I am no optical expert but I have read on several groups that at the focal length of f8 and with only a 4.5" mirror or even a 5" that there is no need to...
Mike, I am also not an expert...but from what I have read and heard in a fast scope it is much more critical to get the scope properly collimated. A fast...
Mike, My first Meade telescope was a DS2114ATS, S stands for short tube. The problem starts with the fact that it is an f8 scope in an f4 length tube! In order...
... a ... Okay, I'm gon'na retract that. The DS2000 mount is crap! I have three here now with broken Dec axle castings. The part just isn't up to the job and...
I got rid of all my DS2000 mounts in favor of the old DS mounts. Now my 80mm and my 114mm both work great and the added advantage is I have extra motors and ...
George, Please keep us informed on your mirror project. Is your new mirror parabloid? What focal length? Can I get one? Thanks Jerry in Arizona ... ...
... I heard this too, but have no experience with it. ... The 492 "electronic controller" will control the motors. ... The 494 Autostar will plug in but will...
... I picked it up on Astromart. Someone's unfinished project. There seems to be this strange trade going on. Folks in the US buying 114s and shipping the...
George, Won't you have to extend the tube substantialy in order to use an f11 mirror? The tube of a Meade f8 114 is set for 910mm. I figure at least 344mm will...
... Every Meade battery powered mount I've ever go my hands on, and there are very few I haven't, uses the same female coaxial power jack and male plug. The...
