LS Mini SD Card for Updates and
Image Storage
Your LS telescope comes with a “Mini SD Card” slot
located in the front edge of the fork arm. With a user
supplied “Mini SD Card”, or a “Micro SD Card” in a Mini
Card Adapter, you can update your telescope rmware
or save images made with the ECLIPS CCD.
Only use SD Cards bearing the of cial SD logo. Each
card must be properly formatted, using a PC utility or
AutoStar Suite, before use in the LS. The card must be
formatted with the FAT32 File System.
Your LS will not power-up with an SD Card inserted in
its slot unless you are updating the rmware from the
card. This includes an SD Card used to store images
from the ECLIPS camera. To ensure the application
software boots normally, remove the SD Card before
switching on the LS LightSwitch. If you observe that
the LS is taking a long time to power-up, please
ensure the Mini SD Card slot is empty and cycle the
LS LightSwitch off and on.
