Problem with start up on telescope

Most probably, flat batteries. Autostars go berserk when batteries are even a little low. Try it with a mains power adaptor instead.

Otherwise, maybe its a dodgy curly cable, broken Autostar, broken control panel or Autostar firmware needs reloaded

Smart drive won't work

Sorry for late response -- I just found your posting.

You did not say which Meade telescope you have -- however-

There should be a light somewhere on the telescope that lights up when the power is on-- if this is not glowing-- double check your batteries-- better yet use an outside 12 volt power pack and the proper Meade cigarette lighter style plug.

No power --- nothing will work-- Meade has a customer service phone number here-- on their web site-

LX200 EMC MEADE 8 INCH

By doing this trick--

Do a FAKE alignment-- (I assume that the scope is trained and has the proper date, time, and site)-- just push the buttons for the alignment stars that you cannot see. Then do a GOTO to a star that is in your field of view--- center the star and SYNC. Your gotos will now be OK in your limited field of view.
