Description

· 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 Advanced Coma-Free optics within reach of aspiring astronomers everywhere. The LX200-ACF includes all the field-proven features of the LX200.
· The LX200-ACF comes with observatory-class optics
· f/10 Advanced Coma-Free Optics; Building upon the classic CF design Meade has created a design with the same coma free pinpoint star images and flatter field that discerning astrophotographers and most professional observatories have come to expect from classic Coma-Free optics. Meades Advanced Coma-Free system also reduces the astigmatism and eliminates diffractions spikes found in classical CFs. The LX200-ACF is the perfect platform for the demanding researcher and imaging enthusiast with telescopes available in apertures of 8 inches, 10 inches, 12 inches, and 16 inches.
· Primary Mirror Lock locks the mirror in place during long-exposure astrophotography. Oversize Primary Mirror diameters are greater than their listed aperture (e.g.,the diameter of the 8" LX200-ACF is actually 8.25").
· This additional 1/4" yields a wide, fully illuminated field-of-view.
