Product description

More about the series ETX...

The Meade AC 80/400 telescope:

This 80 mm aperture achromatic from Meade provides you with enough light gathering power to be able to observe lunar craters, the cloud formations on Jupiter, the rings of Saturn and much more, despite its compact dimensions. A built-in Barlow lens system can be engaged when required, with this technology providing higher magnification when you want to observe the surface of the Moon or planets in more detail.

The innovative Meade AutoStar computer control solves two of the biggest challenges any astronomy enthusiast faces when exploring the sky with a computerised telescope: aligning the telescope with the night sky and finding astronomical phenomena in the firmament. After a simple initialisation of the AutoStar, those difficult to locate jewels in the sky can be simply found at the push of a button!

The advantages in a nutshell:

  • ideal beginners or travel telescope
  • excellent value for money
  • compact, portable OTA

ETX 80 AT-TC GoTo computer telescope

Meade's new, larger 80mm diameter ETX delivers more light-gathering for increased image brightness and greater detail. Moon craters by the hundreds, cloud belts on Jupiter, and Saturns rings are just the beginning of what can be seen with this telescope.

Meade's brainy AutoStar computer solves the stargazer's two biggest challenges in navigating the heavens with a computer telescope: aligning the telescope with the night sky and finding celestial phenomenon in the vast starry firmament. Right out of the box with a simple initialization, AutoStar makes finding the sky's elusive jewels virtually as easy as pushing a few buttons. Observe land or over 1400 sky objects in stunning high resolution, and learn about the sky with Meades extensive astro-library.
