<< I am doing more and more of my imaging remotely as I only have a desktop
pc and it's saving my legs and not waking the whole house up at 2 am. I
would thoroughly recommend hooking up your pc to your LX200 with The Sky
(I use Level III) for both slewing/fine movement control, and focussing.
Somebody (?) recently told me that he uses the LX200 handset with a 180
(?) ft extension cable to focus and control his LX200 when imaging
remotely.

Are you using 2 parralell ports and connecting both via rs232 y connector to
the single rs232 port on LX200 panel? I was told by Meade that I couldn't
image w/416xt and run LX200 with the sky program at the same time, something
about daisychain???After purchasing the feild de-rotator and seing that both
were connected to rs232 port by Y connector,I am confused. I have a
disability and remote use is of great interest to me, and the reason I have
purchased a 10in Lx200, 416xt,electric focuser was this goal. When I say
remote I mean the comfort of my living room only 50ft away from where I set
my scope up when at home.:) Also is it possible to run all three ie. (sky
prog. telescope & de-rotator)
