Meade LX600 16" F/8 ACF Telescope

Meade Instruments is proud to announce the latest addition to our line of industry leading developments, the LX600 with super giant field tripod. The fast f/8 Advanced Coma Free optical system produces a wider, flatter field with no coma for pinpoint stars out to the edge when using large image sensors and extreme wide-angle eyepieces. The 16" LX600 includes the patented Starlock auto-guiding system for automatic full-time guiding with one arc-second precision under good seeing conditions, zero image-shifter focuser, AutoStar II GoTo system with over 145,000 object library, and much more.

The Meade LX600 16" Telescope has fast f/8 ACF optics (3251mm focal length) and Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC™) for maximum image brightness and contrast. The redesigned mirror mounting system achieves zero-image shift when focusing eliminating the need for re-centering your object and includes an internal Crayford-style focuser with two speed, 7:1 reduction control that allows for quick and easy adjustments.

The massive LX600 dual fork mount features 11" main gears and boasts pointing accuracy of one arcminute or better in high precision mode. This rock solid platform is sure to exceed the need for the most demanding applications.

Includes StarLock – the revolutionary new technology that makes target acquisition on your imaging sensor and accurate guiding during exposures completely automatic.

The LX600 16" ACF Telescope comes fully equipped with AutoStar II keypad with 145,000 object library, Meade 2" Series 5000 diagonal with enhanced 99% reflectivity, Meade 2" MWA 21mm eyepiece, and 8x50 viewfinder with quick release bracket.
