Meade Autostar Suite & LPI (Lunar Planetary Imager/Autoguider) Software for All Meade Telescopes with Autostar II or #497 Autostar Computer Controllers

Ushering in a new era in astronomical imaging & telescope control, Meade's Autostar Suite is a gargantuan leap forward in guiding your Autostar II or Autostar #497 equipped telescopes. Using the software package included, you'll be able to hook up your telescope to your PC, direct your scope with a single mouse click, and watch the confluence of computerized star charts with live electronic imagery.

Attaching the LPI imager is as simple as inserting an eyepiece, and this can be used (without incorporating the software package) on any telescope with 1.25" or 0.96" eyepieces. The LPI imager contains a CMOS sensor which has VGA-effective resolution, and it has magnification similar to a 6mm eyepiece. You won't be able to unearth deep-space objects such as nebulae, but you'll nonetheless have the capacity to view bright objects such as the moon and planets with high magnification.

The Autostar Suite software package contains every imaginable capacity for both guiding your scope electronically and documenting what you're seeing with stunning accuracy. You'll be able to control your scope remotely over the internet!

To utilize the Autostar Suite software, you'll need any Meade telescope with either the Autostar II or #497 Autostar computerized controllers. This includes the LX200GPS line, ETX-90, ETX-105 & ETX-125 telescopes as well as the LX90 series.
