Thursday, September 14, 2006Meade LX90 now with GPS
Why, you might ask, would a telescope need a GPS? Is it lost? Well, my friend bought an older version of the LX90 telescope, the Meade LX90LNT and her telescope would occasionally get lost, at least as far as the computer alignment went. It was not unusual for her to have to realign in the middle of an observing session and on some nights, the scope would wander forever, trying to align itself when we turned it on - annoying to say the least. It was also a pain to have to enter a position every time we moved the telescope to a new location, which is a common strategy for us city bound observers to escape light pollution.
If the Meade LX90 GPS telescope had been available, she would have bought it in a second. The GPS unit now tells the scope exactly where it is, so alignment is now quicker and more reliable. It is a welcome addition to an already great telescope. Comments: |
