$MEADE ETX-80AT 80mm refractor with GOTO$

MEADE ETX-80AT 80mm refractor with GOTO
The ETX-80AT is a fully automated GO TO telescope with over 1400 of the sky's best celestial objects in it's computer database. The large 80mm objective Lens delivers bright, high definition images of Celestial and terrestrial objects.

The revolutionary Meade Autostar system facilitates fully automatic astronomical object-location. Just select the object shown on the Autostar display, press GO TO, and the telescope automatically moves to the object and places it in the telescopic field of view! Autostar also tracks the object automatically, compensating for the earth’s rotation.

Meade ETX90PE Telescope
The ETX is based around one of the finest optical designs ever produced, the Maksutov Cassegrain enables ultra high resolution and contrast from a compact design. These optics will routinely outperform those of larger apertures almost equalling the performance of fine Apochromat refractors costing many times that of the ETX. Whether viewing fine Planetary detail such as Jupiters red spot or polar ice caps on Mars or viewing the tenuous detail in the great Orion nebula you can be sure the ETX will deliver the best views possible.

$LXD75 5" refractor$

LXD75 5" refractor
Observing with a Meade 5 refractor is an experience unlike that with other telescopes, as the refractors' large unobstructed clear apertures enable a level of resolution and high contrast normally reserved for larger instruments of other types. Study fine lunar detail at high magnification as you range over the surface of the Moon using Autostar's pushbutton slow-motion controls; observe structural detail in Jupiter's cloud belts and Red Spot; resolve dusky markingson Saturn, as well as the Cassini division.

Price: £936.00

$LXD75 6" Refractor$

LXD75 6" Refractor
Observing with a Meade 6" refractor is an experience unlike that with other telescopes, as the refractors' large unobstructed clear apertures enable a level of resolution and high contrast normally reserved for larger instruments of other types The Meade 6" LXD75 refractor, with 44% more light-collecting power than the 5" model, permits a much wider imaging capability. Deep-space objects, from bright galaxies like Andromeda (M31) to faint nebulae like NGC 6559 in Sagittarius and thousands of other galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in between, take on added brightness and resolution of form and structure.

Price: £1,099.00

LXD75 6" Schmidt Newtonian
Observe hundreds of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters of all types simply by pressing the Autostar GO TO pushbutton. Watch as the telescope moves effortlessly and automatically from major planet to asteroid to galaxy to nebula at 4.5°/second, placing every object in the centre of the telescopic field.
