Product Description
Meade Instruments introduces the latest in a long line of advanced astronomical products. The all new Meade LX800 Equatorial Telescope Mount featuring StarLock technology is the most exciting product to hit the astronomy community in a decade. Faster Sharper Optical System Building on Meade's award-winning Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optics the LX800 employs a fast f/8 optical system with high-contrast baffling that assures crisp pinpoint imaging to the very edge of the field. The all-new OTAs feature an internal Crayford-style zero image-shift focusing system with a two-speed 7:1 control that rigidly holds the primary mirror eliminating the need for a mirror lock. In addition with the LX800s optional large-format three-element f/5 focal reducer/field flattener you gain even wider fields faster exposures and a flat field even on larger sensors. Meade LX800 - Precision Machined Solid German Equatorial Mount Constructed of machined stainless steel and aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum the Meade LX800 mount presents a rock-solid platform with precision roller bearings on both axes and a 1.75 inch stainless steel R.A. shaft. Its .68 diameter brass worms and 5.8 inch diameter 225-tooth aluminum gears deliver smooth precise movement with up to a 90 pound instrument load. Add to this internal cabling and the AutoStar II fully-computerized GoTo system with GPS with a database of over 144 000 objects. All this sets atop a new ultra-stable tripod. Meade StarLock - Full-Time Automatic Guiding StarLock is the heart of the Meade LX800 Mount. Its the revolutionary new technology that makes target acquisition on your imaging sensor and accurate guiding during exposures completely automatic.
