Meade Telescope AC 80/900 Polaris EQ

Item Description:


The Polaris telescopes from Meade offer small to medium optics with lots of accessories on a parallactic mount at a very good price.

With this type of mount, an axis is aligned with the north star (Polaris). This polar alignment means that the telescope only has to be rotated continuously around an axis to compensate for the sky rotation. This is not only convenient, it also makes orientation easier with the help of a star map.

The tracking is done by hand using a handy rotary knob that is connected to a flexible shaft. A motor is also available as an option.

Each Polaris telescope is supplied with a tubular steel tripod for better stability.





The optics AC 80/900: If you are looking for a good start in the hobby of astronomy, you will find it here: The AC 80/900 offers 77% more light than the popular entry-level telescopes with a 60mm aperture. This larger amount of light makes it easier for the observer to recognize details and thus allows more joy to observe. This telescope enables a significant increase in performance, but without being overly heavy. The craters of the moon offer a spectacular sight, even the rings of Saturn can be observed 1.4 billion km away.



Lens telescopes like this are also particularly suitable for children, because the deep eyepiece view at the telescope end can be reached without a ladder. In addition, the operation is very intuitive and no adjustment has to be made. A telescope for beginners and the whole family!
