Meade LX600 Telescopes
Now you can have the most advanced imaging platform available. The Meade LX600 series telescopes feature StarLock for automatic alignment, ultra-precision pointing and assisted drift alignment. The Meade LX600 telescopes are available with or without the all new X-Wedge for equatorial mounting the telescope. Now the LX600 telescopes feature an all new optical system, featuring an oversized Low-Expansion Borsilicate primary mirror, Schott Borofloat glass corrector plate, diffraction limited optics and an f/8 focal ratio. And with the optional Meade LX600/800 focal reducer, you can bring that down to f/5 for even faster imaging.
