Product description

More about the series ETX...

This easy to transport, computerized telescope will provide beginners with a lifetime of pleasure!

  • This extremely compact Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope is basically a reflecting telescope with an additional Maksutov lens at the front. This corrective lens ensures a crisp image with no chromatic aberration.
  • The altazimuth mount uses two motors, for horizontal and vertical movement, to navigate the night sky.
  • The well-proven Autostar electronic control hand box comes included in delivery. The AutoStar software works without needing a PC or laptop, and lets you automatically slew to and follow a large number of astronomical objects, so that the target object always remains in the field of view despite the earth's rotation.
  • The LED red dot finder provided makes observing the night sky even easier.
  • An optional 45° erecting prism can be used to turn the telescope into a spotting scope for observing terrestrial objects during the day.

The Meade ETX telescope lets ambitious astronomers observe more comfortably and conveniently. Automatic slewing to countless stored objects, automatic tracking and a very low weight allow amateur astronomers to observe in comfort from their gardens or balconies, or from dark sky sites away from the city lights.

The relatively large apertures and 'fast' optical design of Maksutov-Cassegrain systems, coupled with their long focal lengths, make them perfect for detailed observing of the Moon and the planets in our solar system. Small bright objects, such as globular clusters or planetary nebulae, are also visible using this telescope.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.
  • We also provide an edition of the exciting astronomy magazine, “Sterne und Weltraum” with each telescope.
