Meade Maksutov Telescope MC 127/1900 UHTC LX65 GoTo

Item Description:
Please note that the operating instructions are in English. We are still working on a translation.



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. So it can be easily transported and set up quickly. A special highlight is the second clamp with which additional optics with a weight of up to 3 kg can be mounted parallel to the actual telescope, for example a small refractor for viewing a large section of the sky.

The operation of the LX65 telescopes is very easy and suitable for beginners. The integrated computer control ensures that.



Due to its long focal length, this high-quality Maksutov mirror telescope is particularly suitable for observing the moon and planets. Thanks to its compact design, it is very portable and also has little leverage on the mount.

However, the optics already have a sufficiently large opening to also be interesting for the observation of DeepSky objects such as globular clusters.

The optics have low obstruction, which is achieved by the small secondary mirror that is vapor-deposited on the meniscus lens. The meniscus lens provides a very good contrast, which is e.g. has a very positive effect on planetary observation. The lens corrects the spherical aberration and, due to its shape, only allows very few color errors.

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!



The AudioStar hand control 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.

A special highlight of the AudioStar control is the built-in loudspeaker. 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.
