Trying to udate my Autostar 497. Is there anyone that can give me simple directions to do so? I have downloaded the newest ASU softwware and when hooking the Autostar to my computer it does not recognize the Autostar. If someone could PM me with basic step by step instructions it would be greatly appreciated. I am sure I am doing something wrong at this point. rsarnacki@wyan.org Post Extras:       Joe Lalumia Post Laureate Reged: 01/24/07 Posts: 3615 Loc: Rockwall, Texas, USA Re: Autostar update help [Re: robos]       #3398494 - 10/19/09 04:52 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I just sent you an email- -------------------- LX90 8" LNT, SV Nighthawk & TelePOD, SV 80/9D & M4 mount, ETX 90, Orion XT10i, 20x80 binoculars, SV-BV3s-- www.texasastro.org "Great minds discuss ideas;Average minds discuss events;Small minds discuss people."

AND the scope was turned OFF whenever you plug or unplug the cable? -------------------- LX90 8" LNT, SV Nighthawk & TelePOD, SV 80/9D & M4 mount, ETX 90, Orion XT10i, 20x80 binoculars, SV-BV3s-- www.texasastro.org "Great minds discuss ideas;Average minds discuss events;Small minds discuss people."

Turn the scope off and hold down BOTH the down arrow scroll key and the ENTER key, and turn it on. This puts the hand controller in Flash Mode and you can retry the download again. -------------------- LX90 8" LNT, SV Nighthawk & TelePOD, SV 80/9D & M4 mount, ETX 90, Orion XT10i, 20x80 binoculars, SV-BV3s-- www.texasastro.org "Great minds discuss ideas;Average minds discuss events;Small minds discuss people."
