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

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.
