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. |

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. | |
