The Series 6000 Apochromatic Refractors are some of the best crafted refractors on the market. Each refractor is individually constructed and tested to ensure that they meet the highest standards, both optically and mechanically.
These telescopes were built with the observer and imager in mind. With the optical design using the highest grade extra-low dispersion optical glass, false color is virtually eliminated, yielding astonishing color correction, contrast, and sharpness.
- Fully multi-coated optics for enhanced light transmission
- 2.5” dual-speed rack & pinion focuser with a 10:1 fine focus knob for precise focusing
- Adapters for 48mm and 42mm standardized T-thread.
- Sliding dew shield for enhanced portability
- Vixen-style dovetail with mounting rings
- Aluminum hard carry case to protect your investment
The Meade LX80 mount:
The precision engineered worm drives for the new Meade LX80 mount ensures precise tracking in both axes. The adjustable Periodic Error Correction available when in equatorial operation mode makes the LX80 a mount that is suitable for both visual observing and photographic use.
AudioStar computer control hand box
The Meade 'AudioStar' computer control locates and positions the telescope for observing over 30,000 objects in the night sky. The 'Astronomer Inside' digital audio technology means everyone around the telescope can listen and learn about more about 500 celestial objects. This database includes details about the Moon, planets, nebulae, star clusters, and much more.
The GoTo control can be used in both altazimuth and equatorial modes.
Tripod fine adjustment
The robust steel tube tripod with the LX80 can be adjusted in height from about 770 to 1190mm. It also has a fine adjustment range of approximately 5mm per leg.
