Meade 12V DC Power Adapter

The correct ac adapter and it works great.

I bought the LXD75 AR-6 back in 2005, paid a grand for it (cheap at the time) and also ordered the Meade #547 AC adapter as well as a few other accessories. When it arrived I could see that it was, at that time, too much scope for me to work with. So I put it up, in the backyard shed, to wait until the time was right. It's now the last month of 2011 and the time is right. But as I began reassembling it I found that I had lost the #547 AC adapter. Like most techno-geeks I never met a wall-wart I didn't like. I broke out my rather large collection of 12 volt adapters only to find that none mated with the input port of the Auto-Star black box. In other words - if you want to AC Adapt a Meade scope you gotta use a Meade adapter, nothing else will fit. And this one does quite nicely and Amazon has the best price I could find. One more thing; the original #547 model also included an automobile cigarette lighter adapter with 25 foot cord as well, a useful feature lacking in this model.

I used this replacement power adapter on my Meads telescope. i also purchased the usb cable which was challenging to locate the correct drivers to download and install.

If you have a GoTo telescope and have access to electricity at your viewing area this is a must. I bought this along with the car adapter for those times when I might need a backup at home or when I'm at a remote location. I also have a portable power pack for remote viewing. For nights in the backyard this is the most basic accessory any telescope should have. The manufacturers should really factor in the prices for these adapters and include them with the scope packages. It's really strange that they don't, not including the adapter to me is akin to selling a laptop without a power cord - just add the cost and give consumers a package that is truly ready to go out of the box.

The plastic battery holder that came with my 20 year-old Meade celestial telescope became brittle and broke apart. Replacements not available for my old unit. Frankly, the batteries are a nuisance and if you're near an AC outlet, plugging in is a lot easier.

Use this to power my LX65 telescope....as required by Meade. arrived on time, well packaged with no damage. Worked well, however the removable plug which goes into the telescope does not stay securely attached to the power supply itself, it can come out which might be a bit of a surprise as you are moving the telescope around or setting up a photograph....best fix was to use a plastic tie strap to the tripod leg to keep stress of the removable portion …. other than that it is GTG....(Good To Go)

Have not used it but received a Meade product. Telescope is at my parent's mountain house so have not tried it out but am sure it will work. The battery holders cracked on an older LX90 and replacements are not available so I got this.

FRAUDULENT!!! NOT THE MEADE INSTRUMENTS ITEM AS LISTED BY AMAZON!!!!

I give it five stars simply because it was delivered intact and works.
