Astrophotography by Dennis Friedman

When I first started using my scope and going onto the Meade LX200GPS based forums, I encountered an extraordinary number of concerns related to the way wiring in the scope was laid out as well loose wires, loose connectors and pinched or frayed wires due to rubbing.

Though I was concerned about my ignorance of the subject I decided to proceed with checking and remedying any potential trouble spots. 

I placed all wiring in either 1/4" or 1/2" plastic wire looming. This runs through the fork arms under the bottom of the forks to the central pivot points. 

I also used plastic wire ties and plastic wire tie holders to buckle down wires and components that appeared to be somewhat questionable.

Since doing such I have not experienced any problems whatsoever with the integrity of the scope's wiring
