ETX-125PE Telescopes

EasyAlign with SmartFinder

Meade's new ETX-Premier Edition automatically levels your telescope, points it North and sets the time.
You just enter your location or zip code. After your ETX completes its patented Level North automatic
alignment procedure it will point to the first alignment star. Use the new wide-field SmartFinder to
center the red dot over the alignment stars for ultra-precise pointing accuracy, It's that easy.

LX200-ACF Advanced Coma-Free Optical Tube Assemblies

LX200-ACF Advanced Coma-Free Telescopes

The most widely used research telescope on earth now comes with the most advanced optical system in
space. Meade's all new LX200-ACF brings Advanced Coma-Free optics within reach of aspiring astronomers
everywhere. Nearly every observatory reflector in the world is a Coma-Free, including NASA's Hubble
Space Telescope. Now you can own what the professionals own. The LX200-ACF includes all the field-proven
features of the LX200 including GPS, Primary Mirror Lock, Zero Image-Shift Microfocuser, Oversized
Primary Mirror, SmartDrive™, Smart Mount™, AutoStar™® II and more. Plus, the LX200-ACF
comes with observatory-class optics crafted in Irvine, California, and a Series 5000 26mm 5-Element
Plossl eyepiece. The new LX200-ACF. It's the biggest news in astronomy since, well, the LX200.

LX400-ACF Advanced Coma-Free Telescopes

The ""advanced" in Advanced Coma-Free.

A traditional Ritchey-Chretien (RC) is a type of reflector that delivers a coma-free, flat field of
view via hyperbolic primary and secondary mirrors. RC telescopes (from a variety of manufacturers) are
found in most of the world's top observatories and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Because the mirrors in
these telescopes have always been very expensive to make, few amateur astronomers could enjoy them.
Fortunately, Meade engineers developed a radical new Advanced Coma-Free design by combining a hyperbolic
secondary mirror with a corrector-lens-and-spherical-primary-mirror combination that performs as one
hyperbolic element. This Advanced version of the traditional RC design produces a coma-free, flat field
of view that rivals traditional RC telescopes at a fraction of the cost. The design even eliminates
diffraction spikes and improves astigmatism, both of which are inherent in the traditional RC design.
When reviewing Meade's LX400-ACF Advanced Coma-Free, Sky and Telescope magazine said, " [It] does indeed
perform like a Ritchey-Chretien. The difference between the off-axis images (compared to a
Schmidt-Cassegrain) was dramatic to say the least."

LX90-ACF Advanced Coma-Free

As you already know, the LX90 is the ultimate all-around telescope for the money. Now, with the addition
of Advanced Coma Free optics, Meade has taken the LX90 to an even higher level above the competition.
Meade have raised the bar both for visual viewing and astrophotography without raising the price. The
LX90-ACF optical system delivers wide, coma-free images with pinpoint stars all the way out to the edge
of the field.  Now the amateur can have this amazing RC like performance for the price of an ordinary
SC.

TeleVue 102

At Tele Vue, we always try to provide good value in addition to great optical performance. With the Tele Vue-102 we offer the amateur a simpler, less expensive, 4" refractor which retains Tele Vue's core values; outstanding optical performance and superb mechanical quality.

TeleVue 60

High Performance 2.4" APO doublet, 360mm f/6 objective, OTA only 10"-long - includes 2-stage 1.25" focuser with quick-focus drawtube plus fine-focus helical. Exquisitely machined and anodized all-metal construction with sliding captive dew shield.

TeleVue 76

The Tele Vue-76 combines Pronto's compact size with the APO optical performance of the Tele Vue-85. The
expansive 5.5° rich-field drizzles your view with delicate jewel-like stars, while the APO
performance of the new Nagler designed, multi-coated 2-element objective and 2" Everbrite diagonal
produce natural stellar and planetary color rendition even at the highest useful powers. Small size and
lighter weight permit use of lighter-duty tripods for easy field carrying and transportation. The padded
shoulder bag provides protection and room for the scope and six eyepieces. If your interests crossover
from astronomical to spotting or birding, and you demand the ultimate in portable performance the Tele
Vue-76 is always waiting to deliver. 

TeleVue 85

The Tele Vue-85's mix of aperture and small physical size makes it a wonderful "go anywhere, do
anything," crossover instrument-with Tele Vue quality, of course. With APO performance and airline
portability, the Tele Vue-85 has been delighting astronomy and birding enthusiasts and reviewers alike.
"Eye-popping performance that raises the standard of excellence for highly portable instruments."
Evaluation of double-stars, lunar detail, deep sky and photography were reported in Sky and Telescope
as: "Truly awesome! ...Incredible!...the view almost blew me off my chair!..." The conclusion, "...an
extremely powerful, compact instrument capable of delivering stunning images of the universe."
