Product description

Meade ACF-SC telescopes:

Almost every large telescope worldwide is a Ritchey-Chrétien, including NASA's Hubble space telescope. The technology used by the pros can now belong to you too. Meade's new Advanced Coma-Free System - powerful and high-precision - is within the reach of all ambitious amateur astronomers, astrophotographers and CCD photographers! It provides perfectly sharp star images, at the highest professional observatory level, over the entire field of view. The secret of coma-free system is - as the name says - the complete absence of coma, an optical aberration in which starlight is distorted and pulled into comet-like tails outside the central part of the image. Whether for observing or photography, the ACF Cassegrain optics from Meade is way ahead of conventional mass produced telescopes. It offers fantastic image quality, previously only available from Ritchey Chrétien telescopes and other exotic systems costing several times as much as the Meade system.

The mounting LXD75:
Light and transportable, but already equipped with a Go To control, the LXD75 is ideal for the advanced entrancy in astronomy. First astro-photographic steps can be performed and developed. The mounting is already equipped with another engine in both axes, which update astronomic objects and positions them up to 4,5° per second. Accuracy-gear in both axes allows a handling with a minimum of work with all 9 tempi. The Auto Star Handbox with Go To- funktion controls the LXD75 exactly and safe. The mounting is photographically resilient up to 8 kg and already equipped with PEC (Periodic Error Control).

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.
