In many locations, water particles suspended in the atmosphere may condense at night and attach themselves to the front surface of the telescope's correcting plate, negatively affecting your images. You can greatly reduce such accumulation by adding a Dew Shield, essentially an extension tube, which attaches to the front-cell of your LX200 telescope. Select the shield appropriate to your LX telescope from the following:#608 – for Meade 7" Maksutov and 8" SCT models#610 – for Meade 10" SCT models #612 – for Meade 12" LX200#614 – for Meade 14" LX200#620 – for Meade 16" LX200 |

The Meade Variable Tele-Extender is an essential accessory for eyepiece projection photography of the Moon and planets through any Meade LX-series telescope. It permits a continuous range of projection magnifications – which is of particular value in high-resolution lunar and planetary photography applications.The Variable Tele-Extender attaches to the outer-diameter threads of your telescope's eyepiece-holder and accepts insertion of an eyepiece of 15mm to 32mm focal length. The 35mm camera body couples to the Tele-Extender by means of a T-Mount, which is available separately. The Tele-Extender also works with other Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.Note: The Variable Tele-Extender also works with ED Apochromatic Refractors. Just add the Universal Thread Adapter along with the T-Mount to the Adapter to begin your photographic applications. |

Until now, the stargazer's two biggest challenges to enjoying the night sky have been aligning their telescope and finding objects. Meade's new ETX Premier Edition series eliminates these two challenges and makes astronomy as easy as pushing a button – right out of the box. Setting up your scope is a snap with the Automatic Alignment + SmartFinder™ system – just enter your zip code, and your scope will level itself, point to true North and set the time automatically. When you're ready to begin observing, scan the vast database of the included Autostar Computer Controller – choose from over 30,000 celestial objects. Find the object you want, then hit the GO TO button. Your telescope will automatically locate the object and place it in the center of your eyepiece.Automatic Alignment + SmartFinder™The ETX-90PE automatically levels itself, points to North and sets the time once you enter your location or zip code. After the scope completes its patented Level North automatic alignment procedure, it will point to the first alignment star. Use the new wide-field SmartFinder to center the red dot over the alignment stars for ultra-precise pointing accuracy. Autostar Controller and Software Package Plug Meade's #497 Autostar Computer Controller into your ETX scope and quickly locate more than 30,000 celestial objects at the push of a button. The Autostar's dual-axis GO TO function automatically slews your scope at a smooth 5° per second, placing the desired object in the center of your field of view. Find galaxies, nebulae, asteroids, periodic comets and more – without the hassle of fumbling with star charts or maps. Used in conjunction with the Autostar Controller, Meade's Autostar Suite software for your PC offers even more observable objects – over 19 million – enabling point-and-click telescope control right from your desktop. Precision Crafted Optical SetsMeade Maksutov-Cassegrains optical sets are individually hand-figured by a Meade master optician. Every optical set is put through over 30 separate optical tests and inspections before the optics are mounted in their respective optical tubes.Ultra-High Transmission Coating (UHTC)UHTC is a new technology that builds upon the already high-quality reflectivity and transmission of Meade standard optics. Through the use of vacuum-deposited exotic coatings on all four optical surfaces, UHTC increases light transmission by roughly 20% when averaged over the entire visible spectrum. Image brightness of the 10" LX200 GPS, for example, is effectively increased by about one full inch of aperture.Meade #884 Deluxe Field TripodThe full-length Meade #884 Deluxe Field Tripod provides a rigid mounting platform for virtually any observing application, astronomical or terrestrial. Suitable for either standing or seated observing, the #884 Tripod is adjustable in height from 34 |
