So if the $75 covers the tab (+shipping, of course) it may be worth it so I'll have this as my first scope for a while to enjoy. No matter what position I place it in, and then hand-tighten only, it "freezes" there and I have to use a pair of wide-mouth channel lock pliers, with a kerchief over the plastic, to loosen it again. And yet without sacrificing any of the user-friendly features that started the.

So my concern is if the Alt motor is suffering some aches and pains, plus the fact that the Alt lock wheel is very difficult to use. Meade ETX-90AT, ETX-105AT, and ETX-125AT models build on the original ETX concept to create the most advanced electronically-controlled telescopes including automatic GO TO object-location with the Autostar Computer Controller ever produced in their price range. After the alignment was successful, I took a look at Venus (finally saw the gibbous phase with the 9mm and Barlow), but even then, it took me some effort to align her using the 25mm+Barlow. One seemed more strained or more of a whine than the other, while the Az motor was fine. Thanks in advance!ĭoes Meade's "$75 Wash & Wax" apply to scopes that are out-of-warranty? Last night I set my 60AT up again, but when I started the auto-alignment, the Alt motor had, what I would call, a "two-tone" sound.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I am open to try about anything. Meade DS-2000 Series mount, tripod and OTA bracket with Meades 497 AutoStar Controller. This is very concerning since my warranty expires in less than 30 days and I can't find the original Sky Assurance card (wish I would have done that now)

Upgrade the Autostar firmware to the latest greatest (I have never been a fan of this but went ahead)Īlong with these suggestions, I have also tried using the scope under different power supply as follows:Īfter all of this, I am still having motor faults. I submitted an RGA request and was told to try a few things which I will outline here.Ģ. Ever since I received the scope back, I receive a motor unit fault. My problem started 6 to 8 months ago after receiving my ETX-105 UHTC back from the factory due to a failed dec drive out of the box. Hello all! This is my first post and by now I am a bit frustrated with Meade but I will leave all that out for now.
