New LX90ACF GPS LNT Range
 The LX90ACF offers large aperture portability and performance with significantly lower weights than the LX200R meaning one person can setup the telescope for field operation. Now featuring the same optical system as the LX200 range.
The NEW LX90ACF™ can do more than track satellites. It talks to them as well. Turn it on and the built-in Sony® GPS sensor immediately determines your precise date, time and location. Auto-Align™ then uses this info to align your scope for a tour of the most spectacular sights in the universe. With all the features of the legendary LX90 Schmidt-Cassegrain plus the ability to communicate to satellites, the new LX90GPS now has it all. When it comes to industry-leading optics, depth of features, and value for your money, the LX90ACF is the best Advanced coma free telescope you can find that can find itself.

LX200-ACF 
The most widely used research telescope on earth now comes with the most advanced optical system in space. Meade’s all new LX200-ACF brings Coma free optics within reach of aspiring astronomers everywhere. 

 The LX200-ACF includes all the field-proven features of the LX200 including GPS, Primary Mirror Lock, Zero Image-Shift Microfocuser, Oversized Primary Mirror, SmartDrive™, Smart Mount™, AutoStar® II and more. Plus, the LX200R comes with observatory-class optics crafted in Irvine, California, and a Series 5000 26mm 5-Element Plössl eyepiece. The new LX200-ACF. It’s the biggest news in astronomy since, well, the LX200.
Reviewed recently in Astronomy Now Magazine concluding that
"the optics are superior to traditional Schmidt Cassegrains and the new instrument excels and is a clear winner"

RCX400-ACF Range 

(not available until late in 2008)

New RCX400 Advanced coma free optical design. This is Meade's most advanced telescope with precision encoder measured focusing, electronic collimation system, new ultra stable tripod, and much more... The RCX eliminates the secondary mirror holder support vanes (spider) that cause diffraction spikes. Because almost all reflecting telescopes produce diffraction spikes, many people are used to seeing them and don’t consider them an aberration. But in reality, they are a large distortion that reduces image contrast, lowers resolution and presents an unrealistic view of the sky to the eye or the astro-imager. The RCX design reduces the amount of astigmatism that is inherent in the Classical RC design. The RCX, due to the front corrector plate, is a closed tube design. This keeps the primary optical components protected from dust, moisture and other contaminates that might fall on the optical surfaces of the primary and secondary mirrors.

ED Refractor
For crisp wide field observing and imaging, nothing can beat a true triple-element apochromatic refractor (APO). This is especially true in astro imaging, where APOs have produced some of the most beautiful images of the heavens ever taken from earth. But not all APOs are created equal. Today’s market is filled with semi-APOs that don’t bring all the colors to focus in the refractor. Thanks to a two-year design process and a triple objective lens made from the highest quality ED glass, Meade Series 5000 ED APO Triplets are virtually free of chromatic aberration (color fringing). This means they outperform the most expensive semi-APOs at a fraction of the cost. Expert observers will be delighted by the total absence of color fringing and the scope’s textbook-perfect pinpoint star images. Even beginners will notice the breathtaking high contrast and resolution of a Series 5000 APO.
