![]() ![]() No supplier I have checked with supplies these buttons. The slight problem in faithfully recreating this controller is that the hardware Meade used (namely, the buttons) is long since out of stock. In light of that, the N/S/E/W buttons are SPDT momentary pushbuttons in a normally-closed circuit. LX3Paddle by Loowit Imaging - Steve Rosenow, Photographer, on Flickr The rough size is about two inches wide or so, a little over five and a half inches long with a depth of an inch and a half. This is a photo of what the finished product looked like. Meade LX3/2080 handbox by Loowit Imaging - Steve Rosenow, Photographer, on Flickr #Steve meade designs location plusTo that end, I have sourced the original Meade wiring/component schematic from an astronomy website, plus a photo illustrating the original hand controller. Since I am an astrophotographer who actually enjoys these older units, I would like the ability to keep control of my telescope's tracking rate to ensure I can do exposures longer than five minutes (to eliminate horizontal star trailing due to drive error and to bring out the fainter deep sky objects). Today, these hand controllers are either failing due to aging electronics, or are becoming extremely hard to source. ![]() Over 10,000 LX-3 telescopes were produced in 8 and 10-inch optics, with less than around a thousand hand controllers. These drive corrector hand controllers, known as the Meade #36 Drive Corrector, were produced in a limited quantity until the end of the LX-3 production run in 1990. As part of the telescope package, Meade offered users - as an optional accessory - a manually-driven motor drive corrector which allowed the user to completely control the tracking rate ensuring the ability of exposures longer than five minutes. ![]() These telescopes upon their introduction in 1985 were considered the "cream of the crop" and were the first large-scale deep-sky astrophotography platform available to the mass consumer market. I own a Meade LX-3/2080 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope - with a servo motor/worm gear-driven drive base that dates back to the mid-1980s. The designs thoughtfully consider architectural features and individuality of each location with an understanding that each needs to reflect the personality of the neighborhood in order to become an asset within them.My name is Steve Rosenow and I was referred here by a member of a car forum.īefore I begin with my question, I have a little background on my project. We worked with the Make Office team to evolve branding elements throughout, location by location, helping them stand out in the vast options of coworking spaces in Chicago. All three spaces share a bright modern aesthetic, with both collaborative and private workspace as well as central town hall areas where craft beer and cider is always on tap. Eastlake designed the first one in River North, setting a standard for the next two and gaining the trust of the young company. ![]() More than 102,000 square feet total After establishing a couple of successful locations in Washington, D.C., Make Offices opened three co-working facilities in downtown Chicago in a little over a year, providing startups, small businesses and freelancers with workspace and community resources. ![]()
