Meade ACF-SC 152/1524 UHTC LX85 GoTo Telescope

Experience the cosmos with unprecedented clarity and precision through Meade's ACF-SC 152/1524 UHTC LX85 GoTo telescope. Designed for both aspiring stargazers and seasoned observers venturing into astrophotography, this instrument offers unparalleled performance and versatility.

Advanced Coma-free Optics (ACF) technology ensures aberration-free images, delivering pinpoint star shapes across the entire field of view. Coupled with Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) on the front correction plate, this telescope enhances light transmission by up to 15%, revealing brighter star clusters, finer nebular details, and intricate planetary surfaces.

The LX85 mount is engineered with astrophotography in mind, featuring powerful servomotors and Meade Smart Drive technology. This ensures precise tracking of celestial objects during long exposure sessions without requiring meridian flips. Lightweight and portable, the LX85 mount is perfect for backyard observations or expeditions to remote dark-sky sites.

With the AudioStar GoTo control, effortlessly navigate the night sky and automatically track desired celestial targets. Ideal for beginners, this intuitive system provides access to a vast database of 30,000 astronomical objects and offers additional features like guided tours and PC connectivity.

The Meade Smart Drive technology enables permanent periodic error correction (PPEC), compensating for small tracking errors inherent in the mount's worm gear transmission. This ensures consistently precise tracking, even at high magnifications.

For added convenience, the telescope comes with a range of accessories, including 1.25'' eyepieces, a finder scope, and a 90° star diagonal. Plus, the built-in Astronomer Inside technology provides over four hours of informative audio commentary, enriching your observing experience.

Discover the wonders of the universe with Meade's ACF-SC 152/1524 UHTC LX85 GoTo telescope, your gateway to the cosmos.
