Meade telescope ACF-SC 203/2032 UHTC LX65 GoTo

The LX65 series combines advanced functions with first-class optics in one easy-to-use telescope.

The LX65 telescopes are based on a compact, yet robust, single-arm mount. The entire telescope system can be dismantled into three parts without tools. It can be easily transported and set up quickly and easily. A special feature is the second clamp with which additional optics with a weight of up to 3 kg can be mounted parallel to the main telescope, for example a small refractor for viewing a large section of the sky.

The operation for stargazing of the LX65 telescopes is simple and suitable for beginners, thanks to the integrated computer control.

Product advantages:

Advanced Coma-free Optics (ACF): The optical design ACF from Meade suppresses the typical aberrations of all mirror optics. Thanks to ACF, the stars are also punctiform at the edge of the image field, so they do not show any elongated distortions that are reminiscent of comets. The field of view is flatter than with classic Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. ACF optics show their strengths particularly in astrophotographic applications.

Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC): This special multi-layer coating on the front correction plate ensures up to 15% higher light transmission. The result: brighter star clusters, finer details in nebulous objects and more surface details on the planet!

Go-To control: The hand control AudioStar contains a database of 30,000 celestial objects. Once aligned in the sky, AudioStar can point the telescope at each of these objects and keep it centered in the eyepiece - of course only if the object is just above the horizon. This so-called GoTo functionality is supplemented by further features, such as guided tours, position display and connection to the PC.

Built-in speakers: A special highlight of the AudioStar control is the built-in speaker. The integrated astronomer inside technology offers over four hours of speech output (only in English). The built-in astronomer knows interesting things to report about the celestial object set in the control!

Easy Align: At the beginning of each observation, the computer control must be compared with the current starry sky. This alignment is also called alignment. Alignment on this telescope is particularly simple: after entering the location and facing north, the telescope approaches two bright stars one after the other. These only have to be centered in the eyepiece and the adjustment is done and the telescope is set.
