WiFi capabilities of Meade LX85 ACF
Considering the purchase of the above set up. Meade Stella WiFi adapter has been discontinued. Per Meade “ I should search these sites for options and information “
Anyone with first hand experience using a non Meade WiFi adapter?
Thanks!!

Re: WiFi capabilities of Meade LX85 ACF
I don't have experience with Meade Stella WiFi adapter but I would suggest a different route. Instead of getting a mount with WiFi add-on look for a mount with built-in WiFi capacity and than select a telescope OTA based on your preference.
The advantage of this approach is that the mount is guaranteed to work with WiFi and you can use with any telescope or multiple scopes while Meade LX85 ACF setup you are limited to the scope which comes with it.
I love my iOptron AZMP and use it with my Celestron 8"SCT . I really enjoy running the scope from a phone app .
