MEADE RCX400 - Eine Leidensgeschichte (a tale of suffering)

[@vipinbaliga7760]

Great job getting it working! Thanks for sharing your struggle

[@peter7624]

I would have prefered to listen to a commentary instead of your music compilation. I have no idea what problems you had with the scope or how it performed. Just booming music...

[@mcxiii]

You liked it.

Great video, the RCX 400 series optics are Meade's best optics ever! I had the 14" and was shocked at the rich star fields visually exploring, these OTAs are worth de-forking especially if you are the DIY type. Yes, there were a lot of RCXs with failed mounts, mine hadn't failed yet, although I did something stupid and reversed DC polarity power, that blew a trace out on console circuit board, and USB lower port died. Fixed circuit trace then re-powered scope, everything worked, except USB base. Originally wanted scope for PC control (astrophotography) and assumed USB was unusable but forgot about the OTA had USBs, so when purchaser was testing, he plugged in a USB controller stick on OTA, then controlled scope using a smart phone and I was appauled lack of understanding. Oh...well, he got a super deal anyway. In any event I can testify these optics are fantastic! Ended up getting a 16" Meade F8 LX600 OTA.

It seems to me that Meade made a name for themselves very early on many years ago then rested on their laurels.

suffering is the music......

[@offraed6156]

Think this par for the course for Meade mounts over several decades. Seen loads of them go wrong.

[@lachezarkrastev7123]

What was the problem?

[@stream9264]

Eher ein Musikvideo als eine Geschichte

[@pcbassy9404]

So thats what we call endurance! Whilst RCX OTA's are just divas those mounts have driven more than one insane. I would have wasted that mount three times before. Anyway, happy observing and allways clear skies!

[@johnnydanger8701]

Is that a 16 inch OTA on a Meade fork mount with plastic gears, lol???

[@michaelaldan6969]

Why not a bit more information, music does not tell the story.

[@ВасилийПархоменко-я3я]

Интересно, сколько стоит этот монстр?

[@JIUNnF]

спроси у министра образования который изъял астрономию из школьного курса можно ещё и рыжего 3.14 спросить при встрече.

I get it, Meade is junk, absolutely junk, thankfully their gone, cheers 🎉

[@HomeRoboticsAustralia]

[@HomeRoboticsAustralia]

[@helthuismartin]

I had once the original LX200 14 Inch series and it was nothing bud crap..Its made for rich kids,,NOT for Astronomers.

[@simeonvlachkov5811]

hi, i did dislike your video. :) Sorry but it is not to understand what do you show with it? So many people could not understand, what was the problem either !?!?

[@valentinotera3244]

You rich

[@chronixalin]

Super. Auch mal nix sagen. Top Video. Nicht.

[@darrenbrown5060]

That was boring 🤤

[@rezathenightfly]

Must we have the appallingly hideous music in lieu of a cogent narrative overshadowing such a celestial subject?

[@elliptor]

Stupid music. Nope
