Hello....I need help please...
 I have a 12" LX200 Schmidt - Cassegrain Telescope NONE GPS from the late 1990's
I had it repaired bye Meade in CA over a year ago and I am finally
restarting and resetting the basic info into the Keypad. My problem is that
I can not get the keypad to except the Lat & Long numbers. My location is at
lat  +40.74 and Long -73.32. Am I using the right numbers or is the keypad out of sink? I do have the
telescope in the ALTAZ MODE. Calling Meade is a bit of a chore....

I would appreciate any comments or ideas
 Thanks

Hi mark
 Could you direct me to John, the person you said knows about my "Classic" 12" LX200 Schmidt- Cassegrain Telescope? I'm still stuck at setting in Lat & Long into my Hand controller...

    Thanks,
