Interfacing Stellarium to a computerized telescope is very simple, especially the Meade ETX-LS.

  • Do you know if this will work with the Meade LT-6 ? (my scope) thx for reply! If so, i'll be getting a laptop.

  • @chiledilly Yes, your LT-6 should work fine. sorry for the late response.

  • how accurate is it?

  • @plug007 Its very accurate. I consistently place objects within the FOV. For those few times it seems to be off, I simply disconnect, use the Autostar controller to choose another object, center that object and sync to that object, and reconnect to Stellarium and its back on. Wonderful stuff.

  • @attheeyepiece Hi I downloaded stellarium from the web and wonder if my LS8 will work from it. Just that I went back onto stellarium after my tea and it lost my location when I went to start up working on it loading my LS8

    Thanks

    David.

  • i use stellarium myself,to track ISS and hubble.and to see when is the best time for what i want to look at..

  • Thanks attheeyepiece ! ;-) Now i also can explore the stars with the Meade ETX-LS6 and Stellarium ! It works great.

  • wow! really great!!

    I'm afraid I would like to know how to connect autoguiding etx-ls with any other option... is available or not currently?

  • thanks for this, Stellarium is really a great software, very well done.

    i bought myself an ETX-LS-6 because of this video.

  • Great video, nicely done. I just tried this out on my Meade ETX-125 PE. Very easy to setup and it works great.
