I have a Meade telescope with autostar, and some other kind of plug in receptacle I can't figure any of it out
I can't seem to comprehend the instruction book or the autostar as to how to see constelations or planets and what the other plug in is for. On the telescope. it resembles a phone receptical plug. I'm assuming that it plugs into my computer, as I also have some software with it. Where can I go for help? It came with 2 lenses. I've had this for 2 years and desparatly want to learn how to use it.
Take it to the shop it came from and ask them to help you. This is not a cop-out; it's the best advice anyone can give you in this forum.

Sale Price: $459.99 |

Simply align the telescope with the North Star, choose the object you want to see on the handheld controller and the computerized mount does the rest. With a large 150mm (6 inch) primary mirror and a 1400mm focal length, this large reflector telescope is the high magnification instrument for planetary and deep space astronomy. You can observe fabulous nebulae, galaxies, binary star systems and most of the famed deep-space Messier objects.

Did we mention that all you have to do to see a new object is push a button? The iOptron SmartStar-E Alt-Azimuth Mount, a.k.a. The Cube, is probably the most functional and flexible unit on the market. Both axis motors are built into a small single unit.

This mount comes standard with AC connection, but also accepts 8 AA cell batteries for use at home or in the field (Batteries sold separately).

The GoToNova Controller is much easier to use than other similar products. The hand controller is more intuitive with menu categories better organized. It also has a larger LCD screen with more lines of content compared with the competition. With the easy-to-use hand controller you can easily set up your telescope and select where you want to go.
