Meade 12" ACF LX90 Telescope
The Meade 12-inch ACF LX90 Telescopeās technologically superior optical design gives a flatter, and advanced coma-free field of view with pinpoint images all the way to the edge-of-field. ACF is the perfect solution for the serious astro-imager or visual astronomer looking for reasonably priced observatory-class optics.
The LX90ās Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optical system creates a flatter field, reduces astigmatism and eliminates diffraction spikes, bringing the highest level of optical performance at an affordable price to both advanced and amateur astronomers. In addition to top-of-the-line optics, the LX90 also comes equipped with the AudioStarĀ® Computer with Astronomer Inside technology, allowing you to not only find and track over 30,000 celestial objects but to also experience a guided tour as you listen to audio content through its built-in speaker.
Key Features of the Meade 12-inch LX90 Telescope
- GPS- Built-in Sony GPS sensor determines your precise date, time and location for precise alignment.
- 8x50 Viewfinder-Ā Quickly and easily locate and center deep-sky objects.
- AudioStar Controller-Ā Controls the telescope to find and track any of over 30,000 celestial objects and gives you an audio guide of astronomical objects including planets, stars, constellations, clusters, nebula, galaxies and more!
- Meade Ultra-High Transmission Coatings- Increases total light transmission and image brightness by nearly 20% over Meade's standard coatings. Objects such as stars, galaxies, and nebulae will appear significantly brighter.
- Oversize Primary Mirror-Ā TheĀ primary mirror is larger in diameters than its listed aperture This additional 1/4-inch yields a wider, fully illuminated field-of-view, and allows you to see the light other telescopes leave behind.
- Smart Drive-Ā Meade AudioStar provides Periodic Error Correction (in polar mode). Over the course of one or more training periods, your LX90 will minimize guiding corrections during long-exposure astrophotography.
- Auto-Align- Picks two alignment stars for you and places directly in your telescopeās viewfinder, which then allows you to center them and fine-tune your alignment.
- Rigid Cast Aluminum Fork Mount-Ā The mount's two arms (sturdy fork) give the LX90ās Optical Tube Assembly a solid platform for Astrophotography.
- High-quality, Affordable System.
- UHTC Technology Provides Incredible Optical Clarity.Ā
- Automatic PE Correction for Smooth Guiding.
- 305 mm (12-inch) Aperture.
- f/10 Focal Ratio.
- 3000 mm Focal Length.
- Easy Alignment.
- Meade 12-inch LX90-ACF UHTC Telescope.
- Variable Height Standard Field Tripod.
- 8 x 50 Finderscope.
- 1.25-inch Diagonal Prism.
- Series 4000 Super Plossl 26 mm Eyepiece (1.25-inch).
- AutoStar Suite Software.
- AudioStar Controller.
- Instruction Manual.
- New Meade Field Tripod product amendment
