Meade LX85 70mm f/5 Quadruplet ED APO Astrograph (OTA Only)

The LX85 70mm f/5 Quadruplet ED APO Astrograph from Meade Instruments is a purpose-built telescope for astrophotography and astro-imaging, with an imaging circle designed to completely cover the larger sensors of today's DSLR cameras. Optically it is designed with fully multi-coated FPL-53 extremely low-dispersion (ED) glass in a quadruplet apochromatic lens configuration that corrects for spherical and chromatic aberrations, astigmatism, and off-axis comas. This correction creates a wide flat field of view without distortion and removes the blue-tinted "halo" affect for true high-contrast color transmission.
