In that case, you'd want to contact Meade Customer Support at (800) 626-3233. Second, you may be trying to view over too long a distance. In that case, try using a shorter cable to eliminate interference.

Q9: What is the magnification of the eyepiece?

A: The Meade Electronic Eyepiece magnifies as though it were a 9mm, conventional eyepiece. With a telescope of 1,000mm focal length, that would produce about 111X magnification.

A: answering the question on magnification equalling approx 9mm. My questions: is it threaded to receive 1.25 inch filters, for moon and nebula filters? Is the contrast manually adjustable or is it automatic? Thank you. Reg Coppic The barrel is threaded to take filters. Contrast is manually adjustable.

A: The Meade Electronic Eyepiece is a device for capturing and transmitting live video to a TV set or computer with video-in capability. To capture still images, you'll probably be better off with either Meade's Lunar Planetary Imager (LPI) or Deep Space Imager (DSI). Either will capture still images with exposure times up to 30 seconds, and the images can be "stacked" to produce views of startling quality. With exposure times of 30 seconds or less, you'll not need a motor drive. Here's the URL for the LPI; just paste it into your browser's address window: http://telescopes.com/products/meade-lunar-planetary-imager-lpi-wautostar-suite-21600.html.
