Meade LX90GPS 10.0"/254mm Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope Kit (2500mm f/10.0) with Computerized Altazimuth Fork Mount

The Meade 10" LX90GPS series yields the same optical brilliance as the LX200GPS flagships, in a package providing a better value for those whom are primarily observers rather than astrophotographers.  The quality, workmanship, design and features offered will satisfy novices and experienced professionals alike.  Meade combines high quality optics, stable double fork mounting, computerized hand control and streamlined appearance in a single unit.

Meade's list of technology within the 10" LX90GPS is a long and exhaustive one indeed.  A rigid mount and beefy tripod.  An oversized primary mirror and truly diffraction limited optics.  The very finest of simple, accurate GPS-enabled alignment.

The 10" LX90GPS's standard-equipment Autostar computer controller connects to the telescope's control panel and permits viewing and tracking of the incredible amount of 30,223 database objects.  That's 50 objects in the solar system, 8 major planets from Mercury to Pluto, the Moon, 26 asteroids & 15 comets.  An apparent endless supply of galaxies, diffuse nebulae, planetary nebulae and star clusters include the complete Messier, Caldwell, IC, and NGC catalogs.  You'll also enjoy looking at 50 Earth satellites including the International Space Station and Hubble telescope!
