Product description

More about the series LX70...

The N 200/1000 telescope - The 200mm aperture allows the observer to see a wealth of detail when deep sky observing. With 78% more light available than a 150mm telescope even the delicate spiral arms of many galaxies and structures in nebulae may be observed. Even globular clusters, such as the famous M13 cluster in Hercules, can be clearly resolved right out to the edge.

The main parabolic mirror is diffraction-limited, providing a sharp image. The very high-contrast image provided by the optics is optimized by use of a small secondary mirror and thin secondary mirror vanes. This also means that equally sharp and bright planetary observing is possible at higher magnifications.

The robust focuser allows the use of two inch eyepieces, and an adapter is included to allow 1.25" eyepieces to be used. Two of these eyepieces are included with the telescope, allowing you to get started observing right away.

The telescope has an aperture ratio of f/5, making this telescope a member of the of the 'fast Newtonian' class instruments. These optics make the telescope particularly good for astrophotography. The eight millimetre finder shows you objects that are invisible to the naked eye alone, and helps you to navigate in the night sky.

The advantages in a nutshell

  • high light gathering power thanks to the 200mm aperture
  • parabolic main mirror
  • well suitable for astrophotography due to its fast optics

Meade Telescope N 200/1000 LX70 OTA
The secondary mirror, with its holder which is known as the 'spider', redirects the light to the side and into the focuser.

Meade Telescope N 200/1000 LX70 OTA
The main mirror can be adjusted by the screws at the bottom of the OTA. An alignment laser will help with this and is hence a useful accessory.
