Autoguider

For users familiar with the product, the LPI camera functions in a manner similar to the Meade Pictor 201XT

CCD Autoguider.

An autoguider helps keep an object centered so that a 35mm camera can take long exposures of an image.

Note that you do not have to set the LPI camera for a long exposure using Exposure controls (2). Autoguiding is

used typically with telescope mounted in the equatorial mode, although it can also be used with LX200GPS

Telescope mounted in the alt/az mode.

To use the LPI camera as an autoguider, perform the following procedure. You will need an off-axis guider (see

the Meade General Catalog for more information) and the supplied serial cable that is appropriate for your

model telescope. You will also need to know the focal length of your telescope.

1. Attach the off-axis guider and your 35mm camera to your

telescope as described in that product’s instruction manual. Insert

and tighten the LPI imager into the eyepiece holder.

2. Go to the Object box and choose “Autoguide” from the list.

3. Attach one end of the serial cable to one of your PC’s comm ports and the

other end to the telescope’s RS-232 port.

4. Select the Comm port number from Comm Port box.

5. Click the Chk Scope button. If there is an error (cable, version, port, etc.), an error

message displays. Check to make sure your cable is properly attached, that you have the correct port

number selected and so forth. If the telescope connection is verified, you will receive a “passed” message.
