Meade Autostar Telescope Computer Handheld Controller #497 for Meade ETX/ EC Telescopes - 07436 is easy to use. When GO TO is pressed, Meade Telescope moves at 5В° per second on both axes, simultaneously, to place NGC 6960, the Veil Nebula in the constellation Cygnus, in the telescope 's field of view. For example, to enter NGC 6960 on Meade Autostar Hand Controller display, the observer selects in sequence (and in a few seconds of keystrokes): OBJECT/DEEP SKY/NGC OBJECTS/6960. Within seconds Meade Autostar # 497 directs Meade ETX Telescope to move automatically to the object and place it within the telescopic field of view with uncanny precision.Д¬all-up of an object from the database is facilitated by Meade #497 Autostar 's simple menu options. 26 asteroids, including all of the brightest asteroidsДЄny of the objects in the preceding listing can be located simply by calling up the object from Meade Auto-Star database and pressing GO TO.16,800 stars from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) catalog, including double stars, variable stars, and other stars of special note.110 Messier (M) objects the complete Messier catalog.

109 objects from the Caldwell Catalog of the best objects for small telescopes.7,840 objects from the New General Catalog (NGC) additional galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters of all types the complete New General Catalog.

5,386 objects from the Index Catalog (IC) galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters of all types the complete Index Catalog.

Included within Meade Auto Star 's database are all of the following astronomical objects - a range of objects certain to keep even the most active amateur astronomer growing in his or her studies of the skies for years: With Meade Autostar #497 Computer Controller plugged into your Meade ETX90 AT, Meade ETX105 AT, or Meade ETX125 AT Telescopes, the astronomical universe is in the palm of your hand: never before has such powerful telescope technology been so easy to operate, even by the most casual observer. Most Meade Autostar users see more celestial objects in one night's viewing than typical first-time telescope owners previously have in a lifetime. Meade Autostar Telescope Controller opens up a new era in astronomical study for the casual or beginning astronomer, just as Meade LX200 Telescopes and Meade LX200GPS Schmidt Cassegrain Telescopes have for the advanced amateur. The effect of Meade Autostar Controller #497 is to bring objects easily within reach which were previously unreachable for all but the most dedicated of amateur astronomers. The observer then simply presses the GO TO pushbutton and watches as the telescope automatically slews (moves) to the object and places it in the field of view. Just plug Meade Autostar #497 telescope Computer Controller into the telescope 's HBX port, do a quick (less than one minute!) telescope alignment, and you're ready to observe any object in the Meade Autostar 's 30,000-object database.ДЄny of Meade Autostar 's database objects can be called up and entered on the hand controller display in seconds. One of the most important advances in telescope control in the past 25 years, Meade #497 Autostar Computer Controller 07436 turns the ETX-90AT, ETX-105AT, or ETX-125AT Meade Telescopes into an automatic celestial object locating system.
