It also claimed it could guide the user to a particular object from its database. It has an LCD display, unsuccessfully incorporates GPS technology and cannot be linked to a compatible Meade computer-controllable telescope. Note, however, that my Sky is not a telescope or observing instrument. [1]
In January 1999, Meade introduced the ETX-EC which included electronic control of both axis through a small hand-controller. An optional #497 Autostar package was offered and would replace the simple electric controls, turning the ETX-EC into a fully computerized "goto" telescope. A "standard" #883 tripod was available as an optional accessory.
The Meade LX200 is a family of commercial telescopes produced by Meade Instruments launched in 1992 with 8" (20.32 cm) and a 10" (25.4 cm) Schmidt–Cassegrain models on computerized altazimuth mounts. [1] [2] Two larger models, a 12" (30.48 cm) and a 16" (40.64 cm), quickly followed.
The Array Operations Center (AOC) in Socorro, New Mexico, is the control and monitor center for the Very Long Baseline Array.From the AOC, National Radio Astronomy Observatory operators are able to remotely control and monitor the ten VLBA telescope stations over the internet.
The Meade Instruments (also shortened to Meade) was an American multinational company headquartered in Watsonville, California, that manufactured, imported and distributed telescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, microscopes, CCD cameras, and telescope accessories for the consumer market. [2]
Equatorial telescope mounts come in many designs. In the last twenty years [when?] motorized tracking has increasingly been supplemented with computerized object location. There are two main types. Digital setting circles take a small computer with an object database that is attached to encoders. The computer monitors the telescope's position ...
The Meade LX90 is a Schmidt-Cassegrain design of telescope made by Meade Instruments for the mid-priced (2000 USD circa 2008) commercial telescope market. [1] [2] It uses a similar optical system to the bigger and more expensive Meade LX200 [2] —although it lacks some useful functions like primary mirror locking.
After each image is captured, a computer measures the apparent motion of one or more stars within the imaged area and issues the appropriate corrections to the telescope's computerized mount. Some computer controlled telescope mounts have an autoguiding port that connects directly to the autoguider (usually referred to as an ST-4 port, which ...
