Tour the Cosmos with Just the Push of a Button
Control of the LX200-ACF telescope models is through the operation of the standard
AutoStar II system. Nearly all functions of the telescope are accomplished with just a
few pushes of AutoStar II’s buttons.
Because the AutoStar II system uses flash (rewritable) memory, your system will be
able to grow when new features and enhancements become available. Download the
latest satellite data, star and object catalogs, tours, serial commands list, and software
revisions, directly from the Meade website (www.meade.com). (Requires the optional
LX200 Interface Cable. See OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES, page 44.)
Some of the major features of the AutoStar II system are:
Automatically move the telescope to any of the more than 145,000 objects stored
in the object library, including:
Library Number of Objects
New General Catalog (NGC): 7,840
Index Catalog (IC): 5,386
Messier Catalog (M): 110
