Meade Telescope ACF-SC 152/1524 LightSwitch GoTo

As a rule, we do not have such good visibility conditions in our region - the ambient light (light pollution) and weather-related losses are the rule. Living in a city and watching from "balcony" is especially difficult. In the case of this device, the problems of so-called "seeing" are not so apparent due to the opening. A bigger one
Opening would have more difficulty delivering a calm picture. What use is more power through more opening, if the image blurs and the instrument can not show this performance? - Have I brought you to an important consideration? Then: Under the topic "advantages-disadvantages" - worth knowing for beginners and advanced -
on our home page smart, there is a lot of explanation!

This telescope lets you have a lot of success even under unfavorable conditions! A well-defined picture will bring you "closer to heaven". The best telescope is always where you look through the most and that gives you as often as possible beautiful experiences!

Meade LightSwitch ACF-6 - you just have to observe yourself!

The new innovative Lightswitch technology completely eliminates the difficulties that beginners sometimes have with the alignment of a telescope. After switching on, the telescope is completely optimally self-sufficient without further input. Equipped with an integrated sensor module (ISM), which in addition to GPS also contains sensors for Level North Technology (LNT) and the new ECLIPS CCD camera, the new, patented alignment using Lightswitch Technology replaces the human eye.

After switching on, the telescope's GPS receiver calculates the current time and location of the device. The alignment is then specified using two stars, which are captured by the camera and compared to an internally generated, current star chart. The telescope is now aligned without the need for interactive user input. Featuring a simple user interface and a high-sensitivity, low-noise, large-field digital camera, the user can create high-resolution images of the night sky that can be stored on an SD card, or retrieved instantly via the telescope's video output.

Using the built-in speaker and video output, the Astronomer Inside introduces the user to the most beautiful celestial objects and provides a sky encyclopedia that provides audio and video footage of an interactive guided tour of hundreds of deep-sky objects.
By using Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optics, the Lightswitch offers the same sharp image as the well-known LX90ACF and LX200ACF. The optical performance of the Meade ACF, in combination with unbeatable customer-friendly pricing, has set new standards. The Meade ACF optics in the new Lightswitch is thus the classic Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, which is installed in many currently available Consumerteleskopen, superior by far.
