Adventures in Astronomy with Meade

From the comfort of your own back garden you can explore hundreds of galaxies, gas clouds (nebulae), and star clusters, as well the Moon, planets, and comets with a Meade or Bresser telescope. The powerful light-gathering capability of these telescopes can transform simple points of light into objects of incredible detail. You will be enriched with the experience of seeing first-hand some of nature’s most awesome spectacles.

WHAT CAN BE SEEN
With any of the telescopes presented on this page, you can observe the following celestial objects, and a great many more, sharply and clearly: the magnificent ring system of Saturn; the distinctive cloud belt structure of Jupiter and four of its largest moons; hundreds of craters and mountain ranges on Earth’s Moon and deep-space objects including the Andromeda Galaxy, the Hercules globular star cluster, and the diffuse Orion Nebula.

New ::::::: MEADE ETX-80AT 80mm refractor with GOTO

MEADE ETX-80AT 80mm refractor

The ETX-80AT is a fully automated GO TO telescope with over 1400 of the sky's best celestial objects in it's computer database. The large 80mm objective Lens delivers bright, high definition images of Celestial and terrestrial objects.

The revolutionary Meade Autostar system facilitates fully automatic astronomical object-location. Just select the object shown on the Autostar display, press GO TO, and the telescope automatically moves to the object and places it in the telescopic field of view! Autostar also tracks the object automatically, compensating for the earth’s rotation.

Specifications: Large 80mm diameter Achromatic Refractor, 400mm focal length (f/5) objective lens, fork mounted altazimuth refractor with built-in motor drive, and Autostar hand controller. Features a built-in barlow lens that can be flipped into the optical path for more power, and a built-in time chip for precise factory-set time. Accessories include tripod with carry bag, two 1.25" premium SP eyepieces and bubble level/compass for precise alignment. Blue tube. Requires six (user-supplied) AA-size batteries.

MEADE NGC-60 60mm refractor telescope

MeadeNGC

Meade NGC60 Computer-Controlled Refractor Telescope Expand your understanding of the universe and Earth as you rove the surface of the Moon, scan the Andromeda Galaxy or maybe just survey your neighborhood! The NGC-60 is ideal for beginners and families who desire the high-quality imagery and controls synonymous with all Meade optics. However, it makes locating celestial objects even easier through the use of the Meade Computer-Control System. Here's how it works: just select any one of 1,400 objects from the telescope's control panel.
