DIFFRACTION-LIMITED
MEADE SCHMIDT-CASSEGRAIN OPTICS OVERSIZED PRIMARY MIRROR Only Meade manufactures their primary mirrors in diameters larger than their listed aperture (e.g. the diameter of the 8" LX90?s primary mirror is actually 8.25").This additional 1/4" yields a wider, fully illuminated field-of-view, and allows you to see the light other telescopes leave behind. Slew Speed The Telescope Slews (moves) From Star-To-Star At 7-Degrees Per Second. That is more than twice as fast as the competition. This means that over the course of an evening, a Meade LX90GPS will get two to three times more objects seen! More Enjoyable To Use! RIGID CAST ALUMINUM FORK MOUNT The Optical Tube Assembly is mounted on two sturdy fork arms giving you a rock solid platform for astrophotography.
LX200 - SERIES
TRIPOD - The LX90GPS comes standard with
the same sturdy field tripod as the LX200R
series telescope.
All LX90GPS telescopes are made in the USA at Meade?s state-of-the-art design and manufacturing facility in Irvine, California. |
