Meade ACF Optics: Professional Technology

Almost all major telescopes in the world — including the Hubble Space Telescope — are Ritchey-Chrétien designs. Meade's Advanced Coma-Free system brings this quality to amateur astronomers: it eliminates coma, the aberration that distorts stars at the edges of the field, and delivers perfectly defined images across the entire field of view, for both visual observation and photography.

The LX200 GoTo Mount with GPS

Stable and high-performing, the LX200 fork mount makes finding objects in the night sky simple for both the ambitious beginner and the experienced observer. The Sony GPS with Level-North technology automatically acquires the time, date, and observation location; with the AutoStar II hand controller, you can point to planets, galaxies, nebulae, and comets at the touch of a button, featuring 9 slew speeds and programmable Smart Drive on both axes.
