Why won my LX50 calibrate for autoguiding?
Some recent model LX50 telescopes have a fast dec motor that will cause autoguiders to fail during calibration. We have been informed that Meade is aware of the problem and is taking steps to correct this and/or to offer kits that will solve the problem. There is also a third party fix for this problem offered by an amateur, Jordan Blessing. Jordan sells a simple add-on kit which we have been told works very well. He can be reached at http://home.att.net/~jblessin or by e-mail to jblessin@worldnet.att.net. SBIG has no connection with Jordan, and we offer his information only as a courtesy to LX50 owners who would like to use an autoguider with their telescopes.
