How do I find a Meade autostar "Tour"?

I just bought a used LX-200 standard, and there I thought there was supposed to be a feature in the autostar that allowed you to download and run a pre-programmed "tour" of the skies. But I haven't been able to find that feature or how to download the "tour".

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks

The original LX200's don't use the Autostar feature. They have an older style handbox. They don't have the tour feature that the new GPS and LX90 type scopes have. You can basically make your own tour by getting a sky chart, computer program like Deepsky, The Sky or Starry Night, or using magazines like Astronomy and Sky & Telescope to pick out targets of interest. Then you just align the scope and pick where you want to go!
