![]() Meade offers the LX200 here with just the OTA and mount, for users who already have a heavy-duty tripod or a permanent pier to support the 75-pound weight. Its dual-tine motorized fork mount is outfitted with a 16-channel GPS receiver that transmits accurate day, time, and location to the AutoStar hand controller, and True Level and True North sensors assist in accurate setup for more precise alignment as well as GoTo and tracking accuracy. Complete with variable slew and tracking rates, plus autoguider compatibility, the AutoStar helps to unlock the true potential of the optical tube assembly (OTA). This full-featured GoTo system has a database of over 145,000 objects with multiple custom guided tours-including audio tours via its built-in speaker. The ACF and UHTC work together, along with the large light bucket and long focal length, to produce images with virtually zero distortion, off-axis coma, fringing, astigmatism, or other aberration across the entire field of view and with accurate high-contrast colors.Ĭontrolling the mount and focuser is the AutoStar II controller. ![]() Outfitted with a large 305mm (12") oversized primary mirror, the optical path is made in Meade's proprietary Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) hybrid catadioptric lens/mirror/corrector plate configuration, with their Ultra-High Transmission Coating (UHTC) system. ![]() Designed and built for near-research-grade work, the Meade Instruments LX200-ACF 305mm f/10 Catadioptric GoTo Telescope represents one of the largest apertures in the series to yield bright and clear views with the capability to reach far into deep space. ![]()
