A
milestone leap in telescope control, now you can operate your LX200GPS
or RCX400 telescope wirelessly! Just plug in the wireless receiver into
the handbox port of the drive base, turn on the Wireless AutoStar II controller
and you'll have wireless control of every feature of the telescope. The
system uses radio frequency signals instead of infrared, so you won't have
to be in direct line of sight for proper operation. Each controller is
on a separate communication code so that any number of astronomers observing
together using Wireless AutoStar II controllers will not interfere with
each other.
The latest
in technology from Meade, the Wireless Autostar II features enhanced ergonomic
design for hand-held comfort. The adjustable brightness, red back-illuminated
buttons with improved tactile-response send instantaneous commands to the
telescope. Those familiar with using the corded version of the AutoStar
II will easily master the Wireless AutoStar II with its new button arrangement
and familiar two-line, sixteen character scrolling LED display.
All the same features
of the Autostar II in a new wireless design.
Enjoy wireless connectivity
to your Telescope.
New keypad design
with new button positions.
Wireless AutoStar
will operate on 4 AA alkaline batteries (user supplied).
The new Wireless Autostar
II operates with any RCX400 and LX200GPS telescope.
