Meade engineers have taken the next step in astrophotographic evolution. The LX850 combines innovative concepts like StarlockòÄâ fulltime automatic guiding and high-precision pointing, f/8 ACF OTAs with internal Crayford-style two-speed focuser and a portable precision German equatorial mount.

MeadeòÀÙs remarkable LX600 f/8 ACF with StarLock technology takes a giant leap forward by making astro-imaging much easier and making setup and transportation a breeze. The LX600 is a simple to operate, portable package that makes taking great astrophotos as easy as focusing your camera and opening the shutter.

From its introduction in 1992, the LX200 has always been a product for which all others compared to. Over 20 years later the LX200 ACF still meets this criterion. Superb optical performance coupled with time proven computerized pointing and tracking has made the LX200 ACF series a best-seller in the high-performance telescope class.

MeadeòÀÙs LX90 ACF is a favorite of astronomers making the jump to their first, serious, larger aperture telescope. Long after they have read the reviews, compared specifications, visited the blogs and talked to wizened astronomers, all roads point to the LX90.

MeadeòÀÙs new LX70 Series offers high-quality German equatorially mounted telescopes with slow-motion controls and heavy-duty steel tripods. The Meade LX70 Series is the perfect choice for the cultivated observer looking to chase deep sky objects such as galaxies, star clusters, nebulae, and more.

For crisp wide-field observing and imaging, few optical designs match the performance of a true triple-element apochromatic refractor. Meade Series 6000 ED Triplet APO refractors compete head-to-head with the world's premium APOs at a fraction of the cost.

Meade's revolutionary LS LightSwitchòÄâ series of telescopes use advanced technologies to do what no other consumer telescopes have done before: take all the hassle out of using a telescope. Simply flip the switch and the LS automatically aligns itself. Astronomer InsideòÄâ then takes you on a guided multimedia tour of the best objects in your sky.

The LightBridgeòÄâ truss-dobsonians set up quickly, allowing you to take one of these massive windows on the universe out to your favorite dark sky locations with ease. LightBridgeòÄâ dobs give you high quality Meade optics, premium components, and ultra portability.

The LightBridge Mini series allows you to setup and share the stargazing experience in seconds. Whether you are camping in the outdoors or relaxing in your backyard, the Lightbridge Mini Dobsonians are the ideal “grab-and-go” telescopes, offering easy and portable observation for an excellent value.

For over 30 years, itòÀÙs been our passion to create the finest telescopes available for the astronomy enthusiast. Designed to be the ideal, ultra-portable telescope, the ETXˆî marries MeadeòÀÙs unsurpassed optics with industry-leading electronics to deliver a truly exceptional viewing experience.

The Meade StarNavigatoròÄâ series was designed with ease of use and convenience in mind. With a fully computer-guided GO TO system, the Meade DS-2000 Gen II single arm robotic mount and the Meade AudioStaròÄâ Computer keypad make observation of the heavens easy and efficient.

Meade's PolarisòÄâ telescopes are perfect for amateur astronomers who wish to discover the night sky. Polaris telescopes come with all necessary equipment and feature an equatorial mount that allows for easy tracking of celestial objects.

The InfinityòÄâ Series telescopes are perfect for the observer who views both astronomical and terrestrial objects. These telescopes come with all necessary equipment in the box and feature an altazimuth mount that allows for easy and quick viewing.
