This Meade LXD75 Series Mount for Coronado is a mounting and positioning kit for Coronado solar telescopes.
The bundle contains a custom AutoStar controller, the #497, that is enhanced to link with the solar features of Coronado scopes. By plugging directly into your HBX port, the #497 acts as a hand-held controller for the AutoStar astronomical locating system.
Support is provided by Meade's LXD75 tripod mount which includes the motorized AutoStar drive system. It is very sturdy and will dampen the vibration that disturbs viewing. To affix a Coronado solar telescope to Meade's tripod and drive system, a dovetail mounting plate is required and included. The plate has holes to align with Coronado scopes and Meade mounts.
