Push of a Button
The AutoStar III hand controller operates the
LS-6 telescope with just a few pushes of AutoStar’s
buttons. Some of the major features of AutoStar
III are:
• Automatically move the telescope to any of over
90,000 objects stored in the database or manually
enter the astronomical coordinates of any
celestial object.
• Take a guided tour of the best celestial objects to
view on any given night of the year.
• Download the latest satellite data and software
revisions directly from the
Meade website
(www.meade.com) and share software with other
LS-6 enthusiasts.
The AutoStar Computer handbox provides control of
virtually every telescope function. AutoStar III has
soft-touch keys designed to have a positive feel. The
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is backlit with a red LED

The backlit display, key arrangement, and sequential
