Hints for your LX200

 

1) The LX200 GPS base opened
(placed numbers are designed in case you want to point to a detail of the base in your own writings)

1. full view

2. motor and panel view

3. Checking for not twisted cables :)

Note : to see inside the hole, point a small powerful light at L1 or L2

4. Hardstop (limiting to about +& - 350°)

2) Make a free Mount Screw Finder

& position your 8", 10", 16" tube on the altazimutal mount like a breeze !

Once install normally (painly) your LX200 except that you  have inserted a thin cardboard with a hole on the center screw.

Then with a marker pen, draw a ligne around the base.
Next time it will be a breeze to place the tube on the previously cut carboard !!

 

 

3) DIY Piggy Back mount for LX200GPS 12"

1- this part removed with drill
2- future holes ...
