Description
Creative and economical computerizing of your telescope mount!
The primary focus of this group is the creative and inexpensive retrofit of Meade Autostar GOTO control to the popular Vixen GP-style mounts, which includes the Vixen SP, SP-DX, GP, GP-E and GP-DX, the Celestron CG-5, Synta EQ-4, EQ-5, Jinghua HD, Orion Skyview Pro and others. Big fork and GEM mounts are popular retrofit projects too.
In fact we welcome creative GOTO projects of any kind. We all want to learn!

Autoguiding with 909 on LXD75
Is anybody autoguiding LXD75 using the now discontinued Meade 909? In theory Autostar disables 909's autoguiding port when using LXD. Dick Seymours 43gg patch

Re: source for Meade worm wheel gear
OK, glad you're fixed up. I also have gears I don't need, but being in the UK, postage would have been more. Best of luck with your conversion. Cheers,
