Meade Telescopes

Meade 114mm A-Series Equatorial Reflector Telescope (114EQASTR) - Basic model but includes a special relay lens which shortens the tube length and yields a 1000mm focal length (f/8.8). Includes a somewhat smaller mount and tripod.

The large 114mm-diameter mirror gathers 361% more light than 60mm telescopes. Fainter, more distant objects can be seen in far greater detail. The beginning amateur who intends to use a manual telescope on a regular basis will find the equatorial mount to be a valuable investment.

Because the earth rotates once on its axis every 24 hours, celestial objects move rapidly through the telescopic field, particularly at higher powers. The equatorial mount of Meade 114mm A-Series Equatorial Telescope greatly facilitates object tracking, simply by manually turning one or both of the control cables.

The Meade 114mm A-Series Telescope are not intended for land viewing.

MEADE ETX-80AT-TC Go To Computer Motorized Telecope delivers more light-gathering for increased image brightness and greater detail. Moon craters by the hundreds, cloud belts on Jupiter, and Saturn’s rings are just the beginning of what can be seen with this telescope.

Meade’s brainy AutoStar computer solves the stargazer’s two biggest challenges in navigating the heavens with a computer telescope: aligning the ETX-80AT Telecope with the night sky and finding celestial phenomenon in the vast starry firmament. Right out of the box with a simple initialization, AutoStar makes finding the sky’s elusive jewels virtually as easy as pushing a few buttons. Observe land or over 1400 sky objects in stunning high resolution, and learn about the sky with Meade’s extensive astro-library.

A built-in Barlow lens flips into position when needed. This highly desirable feature provides more power when studying lunar and planetary surface features, An internal Time Chip (TC) keeps precise factory calibrated time and date, A Bubble-level/ Compass is provided to make initialization faster and easier.

Meade Go To Computer Telecope includes two premium 4-element 1.25" Super Plossl eyepieces (SP9.7mm, SP26mm) offering comfortable long eye-relief and an expansive wide visual field.

Included with Meade Computer telescope the AutoStar computer controller automatically guides your telescope to over 1400 objects. View planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulas all at the push of a button. Don’t know what to see on a particular night? Don’t worry. Just select the Tonight’s Best™ tour and AutoStar will automatically take you on a guided tour of the best planets, stars, nebulas and other objects out that particular night. Want to know more about what you’re looking at? The LCD display teaches you about what you’re viewing with details like distance, temperature, mass, and historical information. AutoStar is your guide to the universe.

Bonus! AutoStar Suite Astronomer Software on DVD for PC, now with instructional DVD are included in the package.
