Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes

The new LX80 multi-mount easily transitions between german equatorial, alt-az and dual ota configurations to handle all your astronomical needs.

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.

The perfect platform for the demanding visual observer and imaging enthusiast in a larger package. When it comes to industry-leading optics, depth of features, and computerized operation, the LX90-SC represents an incredible value. This largest of the Meade LX90 models offers astonishing performance for the investment.

This LT-6 telescope from Meade is a computer-controlled 1524 mm f/10 catadioptric telescope with a 6.0"/152 mm clear aperture. The optical system is based upon a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain design that delivers excellent and reliable results.

The 8" LX90-SC has an 8” diameter f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system (focal length 2000mm) and Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) for maximum image brightness and contrast. Electronics include the advanced Meade AudioStar computer system with over 30,000 object library, multiple guided tours, High Precision Pointing capability, and Meade SmartDrive with Permanent Periodic Error Correction.
