"Will the Meade LPI with Autostar suite give me GOTO capability if I use it with my Meade 114EQ? telescope" I get this question, frequently. The answer is, no. In order to have GOTO capability, your telescope first needs to have a computer. The 114EQ-A does not have a computer. The Autostar Suite is not a computer. It is a CD which interfaces with a Meade Autostar computerized telescope, but it is not the computer, itself. Meade packages it with the LPI and many other products, because it also offers a lot of useful and interesting astronomy data and information.
