The ideal introduction to astrophotography
The popular Schmidt-Newtonians are back! The closed tube prevents any contamination entering it; the fast optics ensure short exposure times and high-contrast images for conventional or CCD astrophotography.
The LXD 75 mount is equipped with tracking motors on both axes, which follow astronomical objects precisely and can slew at up to 4.5° per second.
The AutoStar handbox with GoTo functions controls the LXD 75 accurately and reliably. Precision gears allow operation with a minimum of backlash at all nine speeds on both axes.
