Insert the2x Barlow into the telescope's eyepiece-holder first, followed by the diagonal prism and eyepiece. #505 AstroFinder™ Software and Cable Connector Kit: With Meade AstroFinder loaded into your PC, AutoStar-equipped telescopes, such as the LX90, may be remotely controlled from the PC display. The #505 Connector Cable Set, permitting connection of the LX90, AutoStar, and PC, is included with each AstroFinder package. #928 45° Erect-Image Diagonal Prism: Primarily used for terrestrial viewing, this prism (Fig. 19) presents a correctly-oriented image at a comfortable 45° viewing angle. Illuminated Reticle Eyepieces: Meade Illuminated Reticle Eyepieces (Fig. 20) are used for precise polar alignment of your telescope. During long-exposure astrophotography, in conjunction with the optional Meade Off-Axis Guider, they are used for through-the-telescope monitoring of the object being photographed while the camera's shutter is open. Two optical designs are available: Series 4000 Plössl 9mm (P/N: 07068) or Modified Achromatic 12mm (P/N: 07066).
