GOTO and autostar

Hi Guys! Just a quick question,
If a scope has Autostar does that mean it has GOTO?
The reason im asking is that theres an lx90 for sale at a very reasonable price and it says it has autosatar but mentions nothing of GOTO! truly is a great scope! details...

meade 8 inch lx90
Meade lx90 8 inch uhtc model with
autostar on meade wedge
& 2 inch diagonal, weight balance system
also hartman focus cap, piggy back mount
and eyepiece tray

Sounds good eh and only £600!
Also if it didnt have goto but had autostar does that mean it can be upgraded?
Thanks in advance,
Matthew

Autostar is one of Meades' goto systems and usually when
a scope is advertised as having autostar is will mean the scope has
an autostar hand controller connected to it which gives it 'goto'.

One word of warning,
You will see a lot of med-high end scopes on ebay at truly crazy prices.
(often with a buy it now option)
Almost all of these are scams.
Be warned.
One of the trusted internet shopping places for 2nd hand scopes
is astromart.com.

This is not to say you cannont get bargans on ebay
(I have saved a bundle on eyepieces,sdapters, filters etc...)
but you really need to be carefull getting a 2nd hand scope
thru the net.

Happy hunting!

oh great! thanks for clearing that up! its not actully on ebay! it was on astrobuysell.com/uk! unfortunately ive just found out the scope is already sold! :evil:
pity!
thanks!

Tough titties Matthew, that looked like a good deal alright! And yes, Franks description is pretty much spot on.

Oh believe me ill get that perfect deal yet! even my mother calls me a bargain hunter! i only get stuff at the best price!
