The Autostar II handbox has soft-touch keys designed to have a positive feel. Nearly all functions of the telescope are accomplished with just a few pushes of Autostar II’s buttons.ġ0 The Autostar II system provides control of virtually every telescope function. T our the Cosmos with J ust the Push of a Button Control of the LX200GPS telescope models is through the operation of the standard Autostar II system.

Remove the dust cover from the end of the telescope tube.
Perform the telescope and Autostar II setup indoors in the light so that you become familiar with the parts and operation before moving the tele- scope outside into the dark for observing.ĥ 1 1. Ĥ QUICK-ST ART GUIDE It is recommended that you attach the supplied tripod to the LX200GPS for observing. In the Schmidt-Cassegrain design of the Meade 8", 10", 12", 14", and 16" LX200GPS models, light enters from the right, passes through a thin lens with 2-sided aspheric correction (“correcting plate”), proceeds to a spherical primary mirror, and then to a convex secondary mirror.
