Meade - 10" LX200-ACF f/10 Advanced Coma-Free OTA - DISCONTINUED

Meade 10" LX200-ACF Advanced Coma-Free UHTC Optical Tube Assembly

Advanced Coma Free Optics (ACF Optics)

The coma-free design of this Meade LX200 ACF is a huge jump over the traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain as far as sharpness of image, flatness of field, and color. Meade's advanced 10" OTA telescope delivers the same sharp, flat, coma-free field from edge to edge as a typical Ritchey-Chretien. The use of the corrector plate in the Meade ACF system creates a closed and protected optical tube, reduces astigmatism and eliminates the diffraction spikes inherent in the traditional RC design. ACF optical system by Meade perform at the same high level as comparable RC systems costing thousands more.

Meade UHTC Ultra-High Transmission Coatings

The coating on the Meade LX200 ACF increases total light transmission and image brightness by nearly 20% over the standard coatings. Objects such as stars, galaxies and nebulae will appear significantly brighter with this 10" OTA telescope. For more information on Meade UHTC, please, click here.

Primary Mirror Lock

Locks the mirror in place during long exposure astro photography.

Oversize Primary Mirror

Diameters are greater than their listed aperture (e.g., the diameter of the Meade 8" LX200 ACF is actually 8.25"). This additional 1/4" yields a wide, fully illuminated field-of-view.
