Hi Tim
A good friend of mine has had numerous hassles getting his Meade 14" LX850 to communicate with his Windows 10 Mini PC and his Windows 10 laptop in his observatory and we have thought for a long time it was a cable and driver issue.

Could you advise where you obtained the correct Meade 507 lead from and whether the ASIAir Pro, Plus or Mini you have is still working well with the mount.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks Scott

Hi Timr. I just got the ASIAir plus and ordered the cable you recommend for my LX850. How does that work with Star Lock and what settings do you use in the ASIAir app for the LX850.

Did you have success connecting the lx850 to the Asiair plus?
