| The NEW LX90 ACF™ can do more than track satellites. It talks to them as well. Turn it on and the built-in Sony® GPS sensor immediately determines your precise date, time and location. AutoAlign™ then uses this info to align your scope for a tour of the most spectacular sights in the universe... |

|
| 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 optics within reach of aspiring astronomers everywhere. |
|
|
| On March 26, 2002 Meade’s engineers set out to design a telescope
with optical performance superior to any sold today. It would feature the
most sophisticated and technologically advanced mechanics and
electronics ever offered. In short, it would be an observatory-level telescope
for the serious astronomer and astrophotographer. |

|
| SUPER SAVINGS..It's not just a big telescope. It's a big telescope that goes anywhere. New LightBridge truss-dobs from Meade take down and set up quickly. So you can take one of these massive windows on the universe out to your favorite dark sky locations with ease. LightBridge dobs give you high quality Meade optics, premium components, and ultra portability - all for about the same price as an ordinary tube dob. So get a LightBridge truss-dob. And prepare to cross the universe. |

|
| Optical Tube Construction Schmidt-Newtonian and Schmidt-Cassegrain optics are mounted in precision-machined aluminum cells and mounted in sturdy steel tubes which are baked with highgrade textured enamel paint. The optical tube assembly is closed, reducing air currents inside the tube. This prevents distortion of an otherwise sharp image. Plus, a closed tube significantly helps keep the optics clean. |

|
| For crisp wide field observing and imaging, nothing can beat a true triple-element apochromatic refractor (APO).
Thanks to a two-year design process and a triple objective lens made from the highest quality ED (extra-low dispersion) glass, Meade Series 5000 ED APO Triplets are virtually free of chromatic aberration (color fringing). This means they outperform the most expensive semi-APOs at a fraction of the cost. |
