Meade Telescope 10 Inch LX200 ACF - Advanced Coma Free System with AutoStar II



Meade LX200-ACF 10 "f / 10 - GoTo Telescope with Komafreier optics

LX200 telescopes with the newly developed ACF optics enable high-end astrophotographic applications. The Advanced Coma-Free ACF optics provide a field correction similar to that of an RC telescope AND the benefits of a classic SC telescope. The result is a professional telescope, which is suitable for all amateur astronomers.

Advanced coma-free optics - for astrophotography and observation:

The Meade ACF optics have a big advantage over conventional optics: they have no coma. Coma is an aberration in which the starlight is distributed outside the center of the image and pulled apart into a comet-like tail. The stars become blurred towards the edge.

Meade's Advanced Coma-Free ACF Telescopes have eliminated this coma. In addition, the ACF telescopes still offer a flat field of view. The difference is visible in the truest sense of the word. The stars at the edge of the eyepiece are finer and sharper. Astrophotographers can use their camera without corrector systems directly and will have beautiful round stars to the edge of the field of view.

Further innovations of the LX200 ACF GoTo telescopes:

Sony GPS receiver and Level North technology (LNT)
Automatic acquisition of accurate time, date and location for fast and accurate alignment.

AutoStar II computer control
With the AutoStar II you can drive over 145,000 objects of the night sky. Observe planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae and comets - just by pressing a button! You do not know the night sky so well yet? Then let the preprogrammed "Tonight's best" tour lead you to the most rewarding items! Astronomy has never been so easy and convenient.

The LX200GPS have a ST4 level autoguider connection, suitable for M-Gen and Lodestar.

Ultra High Transmission Coatings
Meade UHTC is a collection of coatings specifically designed for the performance of the LX200ACF in the visual, photographic and CCD fields. The image brightness is almost 20% higher than standard compensation. Objects like stars, galaxies and nebula appear much brighter. Even observations of the moon or the planets benefit from the improved transmission throughout the spectrum of light.
