oh - and the 1/8 in socket on the side - my guess was just external power but maybe more?

Spacecommander The ETX is an ETX "Premier Edition" (PE) model. The finderscope

is the LNT/Smartfinder module. LNT = Level North Technology. There is no ON/OFF switch.

Usage is discussed in the ETX PE manual. If you didn't get one, you can get it from Meade's

web site. If the AutoStar does not see the module by holding down the MODE key for 3 seconds,

then it could be disconnected OR the internal battery is dead (or both). For more

LNT/Smartfinder troubleshooting tips, see the Helpful Information: Telescope Tech TIps page on

the ETX Site.

mweasner Awesome! Thanks! Got it off the bay of ease (eBay) - guess neither the seller

nor I knew what that was. The finder was broken from the scope but still attached by the three

wires (as shown in seller's pictures). Won't be a few weeks till I have time to try out the scope

LNT features or the finder itself but I did check it with a hand unit when it arrived and it did slew

properly when commanded by the autostar. Looks like I got a great deal! Thanks for all the info.

do you think i should pull out some of the batteries so it reads 12v and try that to be safe ?and if it works should i reset the

autostar and retrain the drives ?

@zzippy Yes use 12VDC. A RESET will clear out any bad info, then you can enter your info. Do a

CALIBRATE MOTOR (which measures the power level), then TRAIN DRIVES.
