  1. Olly , I've had a terrible start to 2020 with the weather and bad equipment , I received a new Meade lx85 and retuned it for bad performance with the audiostar handpad , wouldn't even perform with 3rd party software and then went crzy running away from the time I turned it on. I used my #497 autostar from my lxd55 mount and it did the same thing and sent the mount back . I connected it to the lxd55 again wanting to shoot some lunars and it just keeps slewing and won't stop when I get my alignment star centered . I've no clue how to get I atched with starpatch or what driver to use on the Weasner site . Can you help me ?

      Hi, I'm sorry but I've no relevant experience with this kit and am pretty hopeless with any kind of electronics or IT problem anyway. The only thing that comes to mind is that Meade software hit a belated 'millenium bug' in, I think, 2018. It was to do with the time signal on GPS satellites or something like that. Our 14 inch LX200 went crazy when trying to align and got nowhere. All I did was switch off the GPS to do a manual star align and it then worked better than ever so I haven't bothered with the Meade update. I don't know if this might have any connection with your problem but Googling Meade millenium bug or GPS bug should pull up lots of information.

      I hope you crack this one.

      I tossed in the towel on Meade and now have a Celestron Advanced vx that connects and works with the third party software . I research ,  asked everyone I know and went on the forums . It's a done deal. thank you
