SmartAstronomy's SmartCase

   SmartAstronomy's Smartcase is designed to protect the Autostar controller keypad from dirt, dust, and moisture from dew. Microscopic dust and dirt will find its way inside your Autostar controller causing the keypad to have slow response or no response. Moisture from dew also becomes a major factor in keypad commands. Damage of the controller housing and circuts from accidental falls can also occur. The Goto telescope depends on the commands sent from the AutoStar Keypad. If the Autostar controller doesn't work, neither will your telescope! The SmartCase is fully padded for protection against impact and all materials are waterproof to protect against moisture from dew. The transparent front allows the display to read easily, and maintains the feel of the keypad in all temperatures. The SmartCase fits Autostar models #494,495,497 for use with all Meade LX series scopes, ETX scopes, and LXD55 scopes.

SmartAstronomy's SmartCase II

   SmartAstronomy's Smartcase II is designed to protect the Celestron controller from dirt, dust, and moisture from dew. Microscopic dust and dirt will find its way inside your Celestron hand controller causing the keypad to have slow response or no response. Moisture from dew also becomes a major factor in keypad commands. Damage of the controller housing and circuts from accidental falls can also occur. The GoTo Telescope depends on the commands sent from the Celestron Keypad. If the Celestron controller doesn't work, neither will your telescope! The SmartCase II is fully padded for protection against impact and all materials are waterproof to protect against moisture from dew. The transparent front allows the display to read easily, and maintains the feel of the keypad in all temperatures. The look and feel of the SmartCase II will give you the assurance that your controller is protected. The SmartCase fits all Celestron NexStar hand controllers.
