A, 1) with one hand and, with the other hand, pull directly “up” on the central hub of the extension strut system. At the base of the tripod is a three-vane extension strut system, with a circular hub at its center (Fig. To collapse the tripod (after removing the telescope), rotate the spreader bar 60° from its assembled position, so that one spreader bar arm is located between each adjacent pair of tripod legs. Loosen the leg lock knobs, extend the lower portion of the leg and tighten the knobs (turn to a fi rm fi t). We are confi dent that the LX600 will keep you fascinated with the Universe and entertained for many years to come.įigure E.
#MEADE AUTOSTAR MANUAL MANUAL#
After your first experience, please sit down with this manual and read about all the advanced features that are available to you with this telescope system. We have provided a Getting Started Guide that will get you up and running in the shortest amount of time possible. If you are like us, you can’t wait to get outside under a dark sky to use your new LX600 telescope. Configures the LX600 telescope in the Polar mode which is essential for long exposure astro phototgraphy Optional X-Wedge is made from machined aluminum and stainless steel for 30% more stability.Internal Crayford-style primary mirror focusing system with a dual speed 7:1 focus control, which eliminates image shift and mirror flop.These optics produce wider, flatter fields with no coma for pinpoint stars out to the edge of larger imaging sensors or extreme wide angle eyepieces. Fast f/8 Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optical systems on the 10", 12" and 14" OTAs.No separate computer, no guide star selection, no user focus. StarLock™ full-time automatic integrated guider assists with ultra-precise polar alignment, finds and centers targets and then automatically locks onto a field star as faint as 11th magnitude for down to one arcsecond guiding.Using revolutionary new technology, every aspect of this amazing telescope system has been designed to deliver the new standard in astrophotographic and visual performance: You’ll find that this telescope system has all you need to explore the Universe we live in.ĭrawing on over 40 years of experience and innovation, Meade Instruments introduces the latest in a long line of advanced astronomical products: the LX600.

Move the primary mirror to the travel position by rotating the focus knob counter clockwise until its travel limit is reached. Retain this screw for future use as it is suggested that mirror be locked down anytime the OTA is shipped. Failure in removal can result in damage to the focusing mechanism. This screw must be removed before attempting to focus the OTA. This screw is on the back cell of the OTA, near the focus knob, and is identified by a dab of red paint. This screw secures the primary mirror in a fixed position during travel thereby protecting the focusing mechanism from shock damage. The LX600 f/8 ACF optical tube assembly (OTA) is shipped from the factory with the focusing mechanism protected by a travel screw. Children should always have adult supervision while observing. Do not look through the telescope or Finder Scope as it is moving.
Do not point the telescope at or near the Sun. Looking at or near the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage to your eye.Įye damage is often painless, so there is no warning to the observer that damage has occurred until it is too late. Never use a Meade ® LX600 Telescope to look at the Sun !
