Meade 12" LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

The most widely used, research-grade, telescope system.

Sitting atop an ultra-stable tripod and mount, the LX200 combines an amazing array of features: Primary Mirror Lock to eliminate focus and mirror shift during long exposures; large, high-quality worm-gear drives in both axes to provide extraordinarily smooth movement, and; Smart Mount and Smart Drive, delivering Permanent Periodic Error Correction (critical for long exposure astrophotography). THE BENCHMARK

Meade’s LX200 is the most widely used advanced amateur telescope on Earth, and for good reason. It combines the most sophisticated optical system available with rock-solid mechanical and electronic elements to create the most versatile astronomical system available.  Make us a reasonable offer.
