The Meade Premier Edition ETX telescopes offer top-quality optics to back up their easy-use features. Their diffraction-limited optics are so bright and crisp in contrast and image resolution that the ETX-PE telescopes consistently out-performs telescopes of larger aperture. They feature BK-7 glass and oversize Pyrex® primary mirrors, and the entire optical system is manufactured at Meade's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Irvine, California. Want to see a hard-to-find, deep-space galaxy? Simply push a button. Want to look at Jupiter? Again, use one finger. The same goes for the moon, the other planets, stars, nebulae and more. Just pick an object you want to observe, press a button, and the ETX-PE’s AutoStar controller will automatically point your telescope to put the desired star, galaxy or planet right in your eyepiece. | ||

Automatic Alignment + SmartFinder™ DELUXE FIELD TRIPOD Contructed of strong, lightweight steel, the full length Meade #884 Deluxe Field Tripod provides a rigid mounting platform for virtually any ETX observing application. Meade UHTC™ is a series of exotic optical coatings precisely tuned to optimize the visual, photographic and CCD imaging performance of your ETX telescope. Image brightness is increased by nearly 15% over standard Meade coatings. Objects such as stars, galaxies and nebulae as observed through your ETX will be dramatically brighter. Even observations of the Moon and planets will benefit in increased image brightness from the full spectrum of light transmission. [More Info] |
