1 - 5 of 10

Q1: Does the Meade LXD75 Mount and Tripod Only (sku: 37-7500-01) come with the dovetail (saddle) plate?

A: Unfortunately, there is no dovetail plate supplied with the LXD75 mount; it's a separate purchase. Here's the URL; just paste it into your browser's address window: http://telescopes.com/products/meade-saddle-plate-dovetail-plate-for-lxd75-mount-42744.html.

Q2: Does this mount come with any weights?

A: Yes, the mount comes with rod and 10-pound counterweight.

Q3: Will this mount work with a Celestrong 10 inch reflector? Thanks, Trent

A: Yes, it probably will. However, you'll need a saddle plate to fit the LXD-75 mount. Here's the URL; just paste it into your browser's address window: http://telescopes.com/products/meade-saddle-plate-dovetail-plate-for-lxd75-mount-42744.html.

Q4: What is the max weight I can put on this EQ tripod. Will a 50pound 12inch reflector be ok on it?

A: Maximum weight rating for the LXD75 Mount is 47 pounds.

Q5: Are there manual controls (both directions) for slewing?

A: The Meade LXD75 Mount & Tripod only is sold with an electronic controller to control slewing. If you intend to use the mount without the hand controller, you'll need to move the scope by hand, as you would a scope on a Dobsonian mount.

Meade LXD75 is a heavy-duty German equatorial mount enhanced with a heavy-duty tripod and #497 AutoStar GoTo controller that incorporates both RA and DEC motors. The mount, featuring heavy-duty castings, was designed by Meade's engineers and manufactured for high-performance observing and astrophotography.
Precision Instrument
The sturdy German equatorial mount is both accurate and precise. RA and Dec axes move effortlessly on four high-precision stainless steel ball bearings. High-Precision worm gears also provide smooth tracking and slewing. Capacity is 47 pounds.
High Precision Pointing (HPP)
For even more precise pointing, use the HPP function. HPP puts objects squarely in the center of the field of view, allowing you to confirm deep-sky objects at the farthest limits of the telescope's capability. Periodic Error Correction, meanwhile, corrects periodic errors on the RA axis over the course of one or more training periods. This minimizes guiding corrections during long-exposure photography.
9 Speed Drive Controls
From a rapid slew rate of 4.5ᄚ/sec. to 1X sidereal, tracking and slewing are controlled from the AutoStar controller. Three-Star Alignment Ensures precise alignment and eliminates the need for a complicated optical/mechanical alignment process. The mount also is equipped with an iluminated polar alignment viewfinder For quick, precise polar alignment.
Heavy Duty Tripod
A sturdily constructed, finely finished, variable-height field tripod with spreader bar brace provides the stability and vibration damping required for visual observation and astrophotography. It's also easy to set up and take down again after an evening's viewing.
Power Supply
Powered by eight D-cell batteries, the mount can also be powered by optional car cigarette lighter power cord or an AC wall adapter.
CHOKING HAZARD - small parts may pose a risk to children under 6 yrs.
