Meade's new, 60mm diameter ETX delivers excellent light-gathering for image brightness and great detail. Moon craters by the hundreds, cloud belts on Jupiter, and Saturn's rings are just the beginning of what can be seen with this telescope.
Meade's brainy AutoStar computer solves the stargazer's two biggest challenges in navigating the heavens with a computer telescope: aligning the telescope with the night sky and finding celestial phenomenon in the vast starry firmament. Right out of the box with a simple initialization, AutoStar makes finding the sky's elusive jewels virtually as easy as pushing a few buttons. Observe land or over 1400 sky objects in stunning high resolution, and learn about the sky with Meade's extensive astro-library.
The Meade ETX-60AT Backpack has these new advanced features as standard-equipment.
- A built-in Barlow lens flips into position when needed. This highly desirable feature provides more power when studying lunar and planetary surface features.
- A Bubble-level/Compass is provided to make initialization faster and easier.
- Now includes Three Premium 1.25" Eyepieces (4mm, 12mm, and 25mm) offering comfortable long eye-relief and a wide visual field.
- Lightweight aluminum tripod holds views steady without sacrificing portability.
- 45 Degree Erect Prism provides a comfortable viewing angle for extended observing sessions. Also makes daytime observation easier with corrected, right-side-up, right-to-left viewing.
- Bonus! AutoStar Suite Astoronomer Software on DVD for PC, now with instructional DVD.
