Review Summary

Viewing the heavens through a telescope is a breathtaking venture that will leave you with life-long memories. But before you can have that experience, you must do something more down to earth: buy a telescope.
The Meade Series 6000 115mm refractor uses a quality fluoro crown ED glass element and state-of-the-art optical multicoatings in its apochromatic air-spaced ED triplet optics. The result is images that are essentially free of the annoying halo of unfocused violet light (chromatic aberration) that mars the view of bright stars and solar system objects in lesser scopes, despite the scope's relatively large aperture and even at very high magnifications.
The Meade 115mm is an excellent astrograph for serious wide field imaging, as well as crisp solar system imaging. It can also be the heart of your primary visual observing system.
