The Meade 10" LX90-ACF Telescope sports an advanced coma-free design that includes 254mm (10") of clear aperture, 2540mm (f/10) focal length and comes with Meade's high transmission UHTC coatings.

All LX90 models feature the solid and stable LX90 aluminum double fork mount, with fast slew speed adjustable from 1 to 7 degrees per second. Fine slewing and photographic guiding speeds can be adjusted from .01x to 1x sidereal in one one-hundredth increments. The mount and all electronics are internally powered by 8 (user supplied) C-cell batteries which will typically operate the telescope for a generous 60 hours (optional Meade Universal AC adapter also available). The mount also has mechanical locks in both axis allowing adjustment even without power.

Meade 115mm ED Triplet APO Refractor #4507-00-05. For crisp wide field observing and imaging, nothing can beat a true triple-element Apochromatic Refractor (APO)

The 12” Lightbridge Dobsonian telescope comes packaged with optical coatings specially designed by Meade to guarantee superior light reflectivity management. The 12” Lightbridge has great accessories that add even more functionality to the scope.

The most widely used research telescope on earth now comes with the most advanced optical system in space. Meade's all new LX200-ACF brings Advanced Coma-Free optics within reach of aspiring astronomers everywhere.

With all these innovations and technological features built in, what's not to like about the Meade LX-200 ACF 12 inch Computerized Telescope - except maybe for the fact that you don't yet own one!  

The most widely used research telescope on earth now comes with the most advanced optical system. Meade's LX200-ACF brings Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optics within reach of aspiring astronomers everywhere. Nearly every observatory reflector in the world uses an aplanatic (coma-free) optical system like the Ritchey-Chrétien (RC), including NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.

Features top of the line Meade Advanced Coma Free (ACF) optical design offering the coma-free pinpoint star images and flatter image fields greatly desired by discerning amateur astronomers, astrophotographers and professional observatories alike. This patented system also reduces the astigmatism and eliminates diffraction spikes found in classical RC designs.

Many people may wonder what makes the 16" Lightbridge Dobsonian mainly different. A popular feature of Meade products is ease of use, and this is more noticeable, enhanced and improved as years go by. As with most people, there is no question that astronomers want to spend the majority of their time observing, not setting up their scope. With this Lightbridge, you can now get this task down before sundown in as easy as 1-2-3!
