I took this telescope and the accessories out of a sealed box on and everything looked like it was all brand-new and factory sealed, inside and out. I'm not sure which model of Autostar handbox this is, but I don't seem to have the RS-232 thing. If I am holding the ENTER and Scroll-Down keys when I turn on the power it says:
I'm not sure if the handbox will work in the AUX port on the scope, though they both seem to have connections for both types of plugs. I'd also read something to the effect that since telephone RJ-11 cables are all the same in this regard then maybe one of those could be used. I tried to do some research about trying to use a CAT5 RJ-45 computer networking cable instead, and from what I understand you'd need to use a crossover cable like would be used to connect two computers directly to each other rather than a straight-through cable that is typically used with connecting the PC to a switch or router. I'm wondering if I just have a bad HBX cable. In trying to resolve this I did change the CR2032 clock battery to one with proper voltage, and the 8 AA cells I used are brand-new alkaline batteries which test at over 12v when in series so I think they're OK. Now I should mention that the arrow-keys and motors DO work as far as moving it Up/Down/Left/Right as well as changing the slew speed with the number keys after that error (or if I just begin to navigate before pressing 0 or MODE.) I can move the scope using the handbox, and did enjoy viewing the super-harvest-full-blood moon last night. Then after I press either of those it saysĪnd it moves up a little and pauses, then moves right/clockwise a little and pauses, then:
When I switch on the power, the handbox says:Īnd it makes a buzz/beep noise, then it says:
