This project would not be possible without the assistance of Meade Telescope owners and the ASCOM Platform. I would like to thank the following people for helping to create and test this project. I've created channels for support, and for software development related to the driver. This is something new that I'm trying to see if it will help with getting faster turn around for communications. There is also an issue tracker built into this site. Release History and links to the downloadsĭevelopers if you would like to help develop this driver. Whilst this driver is less than a year old, it is maturing fast and has been proven to work with lots of Meade Telescopes. At start up, when the RA drive is turning to align the worm gear, I was getting an awful 'clackety-clackety' sound. Well, maybe not belly-up, but it wasn't happy. Just in time for the 10' LX200 Classic to go belly-up. The intention of this project is to create a fully functional driver for the Meade telescope Finally, we've gotten some good, dark steady skies. * fix and issue where trying to use the focusser through Backyark EOS could cause a crash leaving the focusser running

Known issues that this driver also attempts to resolve * execute nudge commands to allow Sky Safari to control the scope via WIFI Scope or Sequence Generator Pro. Specific features that were known to be missing are the ability to This driver has been created after discovering that the Meade LX200 Classic and Autostar #494, #495, and #497 (combined telescope/focuser, 5.0.4) driver does not implement enough features to allow the telescope to be properly operated remotely.

Will it work with my scope? - Click the link to see what scopes are confirmed, etc. Please note, that this was originally designed for the #497 Autostar, but has since been expanded and every Meade telescope model will be considered. The cjdSkunkWorks proudly presents a fully function ASCOM driver for the Meade Telescopes.
