Ok, I need some help. Set up my 8" LX50 last night for some observing, first object was Saturn, at about 200x. I noticed that it was not tracking steady. Like...
The bottom plate is removed from the scope (4 Allen head screws). There are two little shutter wheels (thin metal disks with slots) and one has a little round...
Hey Josh I'm just catching up on my emails. Perhaps Bill already has you fixed up. While your problem may be mechanical, it could also be conditions.Sounds ...
Thanks for your post, but I am sure that this was not bad seeing. Although the seeing was not very good that night, this was a steady jerk in the same...
OK I have the bottom cover off, I see the 2 wheels, and there is a white sticker on the wheel that is closest to the motor. One thing that I did notice is that...
... Yes I did and I responded back via private email. I basically recommended you make sure the two discs do not touch each other. You will have to very...

Greetings All: I have had my scope in the closet for way too long because of personal and professional demands and am getting re-oriented to things, hoping to...
It should work! It's been a while since I've used ECU with my LX-50, but it does work. Be sure and configure the communications of the software properly. The...
I will double check to make sure that the baud rate is correct and matched with the port configuration. The cable is correct. It was purchased for the LX200...
Got it! I think it was a sequencing issue. That is, the software had to be up, the scope had to be aligned, then the connection attempted. At least that is...
Outstanding! Glad you got it to work. I've enjoyed ECU for several years. I particularly like the custom horizons and the ability to use custom data bases for...
Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I have not done much amateur astronomy this year, and I am still trying to get over the learning curve with the LX250...
