Meade Wireless Autostar II Computer Controller 07582 is a milestone leap in telescope control - now you can operate your Meade LX200ACF, Meade LX200GPS or Meade LX400 ACF Telescope wirelessly! Just plug in the wireless receiver into the handbox port of the drive base, turn on Meade AutoStar II Wireless Controller and you'll have wireless control of every feature of your Meade Telescope. Meade Wireless Autostar-2 uses radio frequency signals instead of infrared, so you won't have to be in direct line of sight for proper operation. Each Meade Autostar-II Telescope Controller 07582 is on a separate communication code so that any number of astronomers observing together using Meade 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 Meade AutoStarII Telescope Computer Controller will easily master Meade Wireless AutoStar II with its new button arrangement and familiar two-line, sixteen character scrolling LED display.

Meade Autostar II Wireless Controller 07582 has all the same features of corded Meade AutostarII in a new wireless design, PLUS:

• Enjoy wireless connectivity to your Meade Telescope
• New keypad design with new button positions
• Wireless Meade AutoStar will operate on 4 AA alkaline batteries (user supplied)
• The new Meade Autostar II Wireless Handheld Computer Controller operates with any Meade LX-200 ACF Advanced Coma Free Telescope, Meade LX 400 and Meade LX 200 GPS Telescope

Completely redesigned and updated for Meade LX200 GPS Telescopes, Meade Autostar II Control Systems include the widest array of telescope capabilities ever offered in a commercial telescope:

Built-in 145,000-Object Library Included as Standard Equipment:
Enter into Meade Autostar II Handbox any of the 145,000 celestial objects stored in Meade Telescope 's onboard database, press GO TO, and Meade Telescope automatically slews (moves) to the object at 8?/sec., centering it precisely in the main telescope field. Additionally, the display reads out for each selected object its magnitude, size, object-type, visual quality rating, RA and Dec. Or, let the telescope take you on an automatic guided tour of TONIGHT'S BEST.

Stored in a 3.5 Megabyte Flash Memory, Meade Autostar 2 database is immediately accessible on the Auto Star II display and includes an incredible array of phenomena - virtually a lifetime of deep-space study, even for the advanced observer. A partial listing includes:
