Compatible with Meade LXD-55 mount
Pros: Cons: Comments:Compatible with Meade LXD-55 mount and bridge. I can use all my applications such as APT, Sharpcap but haven't figured out how to have ASCOM communicate with PHD2 and the other software packages.

Aug 4, 2013Meade Audiostar - Autostar Replacement
Pros:Compact,Lightweight,Accurate,Easy to Use
Cons: Comments:Purchased Audiostar as replacement for malfunctioning autostar for use with ETX-125. Audiostar works well, although I really have no need for the "audio" portion. Four stars because I don't know how long it will last -- Autostars had tendency to die an early death due to contacts for input keys deteriorating.
