Description

Meade’s LX200 stands as the foremost choice among advanced amateur telescopes worldwide, and its acclaim is well-deserved. It seamlessly integrates state-of-the-art optical precision with robust mechanical and electronic components, crafting an astronomical system of unparalleled versatility.

Perched atop an ultra-sturdy tripod and mount, the LX200-ACF boasts an impressive array of features. The Primary Mirror Lock eradicates focus and mirror shift during prolonged exposures, while large, high-quality worm-gear drives ensure exceptionally smooth movement. The Smart Drive system delivers Permanent Periodic Error Correction, vital for astrophotography requiring extended exposures.

Equipped with the AutoStar II handbox controller, the LX200-ACF grants access to over 140,000 celestial objects with unparalleled GoTo performance. Operating this user-friendly handbox allows complete command over all telescope functions. Moreover, the system can be controlled from an external computer using either supplied or third-party software.

Advanced Coma-free Optics (ACF): Meade's ACF optical design eradicates typical mirror optic aberrations, preserving star shapes throughout the image field without elongated distortions. ACF optics excel in astrophotography, offering a flatter image field compared to traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.

Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC): The specialized multi-layer coating on the front correction plate enhances light transmission by up to 15%, resulting in brighter star clusters, finer nebulae details, and enhanced planetary features.

AutoStar II: Explore the cosmos with the touch of a button. The AutoStar II system allows effortless navigation through a library of over 145,000 celestial objects, including those from the Messier Catalog, NGC Catalog, and named Objects. Its soft-touch keys, backlit LCD, and sequential menu structure ensure intuitive operation even in low-light conditions.

Level North Technology: Aligning the telescope is a breeze with Level North Technology. The built-in GPS receiver provides the system with accurate date, time, and geographical location data, while also furnishing information on the telescope's current orientation. After automatically locating one to three stars, the telescope guides users to center them in the eyepiece, ensuring precise alignment.

 

Included Accessories: Battery Compartment, 1.25'' Eyepieces (26mm), Deviating Optics (1.25", 90° Star Diagonal), Finder Scope (8x50)
