Meade is introducing the all new MAX2 Mount featuring the 20" ACF Optical Tube.  This new MAX-2 Mount offers features and value not found anyplace else.  Whether its for a college or research institution trying to maximize their budget, or a discerning amateur astronomer looking to expand their astrophotographic aspirations into true science, the MAX2 is the ideal platform for someone who wants a complete package for the price of competing optical tubes alone.

There are very few aspects you can come up with in which one of the largest telescope manufacturers, Meade hasn’t already developed. That is, until now. The Meade MAX2-ACF is a large advancement for amateur astronomers. As a tripod, mount, and OTA package, this item supports a payload of 250 pounds. Meade has also incorporated their famous Ultra-High Transmission coatings, Coma-free, Autostar II, and much more into their new invention.

Displays rectangular frames of all popular CCD chip sizes, including all Meade Pictor models and ST-4 through ST-8. Shows precisely the image size and orientation that appear on telescope eyepiece-holder, or use with Flip-Mirror.
