Meade
Since its founding in 1972, Meade has become one of the world's foremost manufacturers of telescopes and accessories for the serious or amateur astronomer. From the research-quality Advanced Coma-Free Optics of the LX200-ACF Meade Telescope Series to the extraordinary capabilities of the Meade 6 Inch LS Telescope, Meade telescopes have won acclaim for their quality and innovation.
Among the most popular Meade telescopes for beginners are the models in the Meade ETX Telescopes series. ETX is an acronym for Everyone's Telescope, and though it means that this Meade telescope is particularly easy to use, it could also mean that everyone who sees one buys it.
The Meade ETX-80AT-TC Astro Telescope with AutoStar is the best seller in this series. It comes with Super Plossl eyepieces, a built-in Barlow lens, and an 80mm clear aperture for greater light gathering, image brightness, and detail.
A step up in price but a light-year advance in technology, the Meade 6 Inch LS Telescope with LightSwitch Technology is one of the most advanced consumer telescopes on the market. The LightSwitch system performs automatic, hands-free alignment, and the Auto Star III hand controller can automatically locate 100,000 celestial objects. It's the telescopic equivalent of having R2D2 steer your X-Wing Fighter.
Meade Eyepieces are true feats of design and engineering. Known as the finest in premium telescope eyepieces, the Meade Series 4000 eyepieces combine superb magnification and pinpoint edge-of-field sharpness with extremely low astigmatism and spherical aberration. In their price range, they're virtually unbeatable - and the same could be said of the Meade telescope eyepieces in the 5000 series.
Meade Accessories feature the newest user-friendly technology, such as built-in Sony GPS receivers on scopes that quickly determine the precise date, time, and location. Meade telescope accessories have a wide range of features that give you the most value for your dollar.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's mere inches away when you're using Meade astronomy binoculars. The Meade 9x63 Astronomy Binoculars can make virtually anything a part of their big picture, from birds in trees to comets in space. Sharp resolution, crisp images, and a lens design that gathers light like light gathers moths set this Meade binocular set apart from the competition.
