Meade LX90GPS 12" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope Kit

The Meade 12" 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 12" 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 12" 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!

Key Features

• Sony® GPS Sensor: The Sony® GPS sensor within the LX90GPS immediately & precisely determines date, time & location parameters

• AutoAlign™: AutoAlign™ picks two failproof alignment stars for you and places them right in your viewfinder-just center them to fine tune your alignment and the universe is at your fingertips!

• SmartDrive™: The AutoStar® provides Periodic Error Correction in polar mode, minimizing guiding corrections during long exposure astrophotography.

• Manufactured Exclusively in Irvine, California: Hand matched MADE IN USA diffraction-limited Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system

• Oversized Primary Mirror: Primary mirror diameter larger than listed aperture, yielding wider & fully illuminated viewing field

: • Enormous 12" aperture penetrates deep into space for observations of intricate detail
