Deep Sky Imager Fan. It’s cool. Enhances the air-
cooled properties of any DSI camera. Keeps your camera up to 9º
Fahrenheit cooler than without a fan. Powered by 8 user-supplied
AA batteries or with #541 AC power supply (p. 141).
Deep Sky Imager Pro II RGB Filter Set.
The colorizer. Color lter set for monochrome DSI Pro II.
Includes Red, Green, and Blue interference lters plus an IR
blocking lter. Designed specically for DSI imagers, these lters
provide ideal wave length transmissions for true color images with
minimum exposure times. 1.25" Parfocal.
Equatorial Wedges. A long exposure necessity.
An Equatorial Wedge is for exposures longer than about 5 minutes
(under 5 minutes, a wedge is not necessary). A wedge permits
precise polar alignment of your telescope in equatorial mode
(compared to Alt/Az mode). This eliminates eld rotation
in long-exposure photographs by allowing you to align the
telescope’s axis of rotation with the Earth’s axis of rotation.
Die cast aluminum wedges include ne adjusters, no-tool knobs,
and a compass for faster aligning on the pole. Choose the appropriate
8" EQ Wedge or our extra heavy duty Ultra-Wedge.
+ 8" LX90ACF Equatorial Wedge with adapter plate (not shown)
+ 8" LX200-ACF Equatorial Wedge
+ Ultra-Wedge (Ultra-stable wedge for all LX
models 8"-14")
Field De-Rotator. The equatorial wedge alternative.
If you want to do long exposures (over 5 minutes) in Alt/Az
mode without a wedge, you can correct for eld rotation (which
results from the scope not rotating on the same axis that the earth
does) with Meade’s Field De-Rotator. Attaches to the rear cell
of your scope to precisely counter the eects of Alt/Az-induced
eld rotation.
Vibration Isolation Pads. Stable platform. Sharper image.
Highly desirable for sensitive imaging applications, these pads
reduce typical vibration damping times to less than one second.
Place one pad under each tripod leg. Includes set of three.
f6.3 Focal Reducer/Field Flattener. Faster,
flatter, better. A photographer’s dream. Improves edge-of-
eld correction and reduces exposure times by close to 50%.
Eectively reduces focal ratio by a factor of 0.63. Threads
into rear cell of any LX90, LX200 or LX400 series scope (or
competing Schmidt-Cassegrains). 1.25"
f/3.3 CCD Focal Reducer/Field Flattener and
T-Adapter. Ultra-fast. For ultra-fast CCD imaging with
increased edge-of-eld resolution and color correction. Reduces
exposure times by up to 80%. Threads into rear cell of any LX90,
LX200 or LX400 series scope (or competing Schmidt-Casseg-
rains). Not for visual use or lm photography. 1.25"
IMAGING ACCESSORIES. The perfect shot is in the details.
Shooting art-gallery images of the heavens may start with the right telescope, mount, a nd camer a,
but it ends with accessories like these. Whether you are a seasoned star-shooter, a serious researcher,
or just a beginner, Meade has every thing you need to ca pture the night sky for art or science.

T-Mounts. Canon and Nikon. T-Ring Mounts allow
you to attach your SLR or DSLR camera to your telescope.
Available for Canon, Canon EOS, and Nikon cameras.
Basic Camera Adapter. Your telescope. Your camera.
For photographing the moon, planets and stars through your
telescope using 1.25" eyepieces. Accepts an eyepiece that will
project an enlarged image onto the camera lm plane or CCD
chip. Each camera requires a separate T-mount.
Variable Projection Camera Adapter. With
or without an eyepiece. This camera adapter permits a
continuous range of projection magnications. Two separable
units allow prime focus or eyepiece-projection photography.
Requires a camera-specic T-Mount. 1.25"
ETX PE T-Adapter. #64T Shoot through your ETX
PE. Prime focus camera adapter converts your ETX PE into a
telephoto lens. Threads onto the rear cell of the ETX PE 90 and
125. Requires camera-specic T-Mount.
ETX-80 T-Adapter. #64ST Shoot through your ETX
80. Prime focus camera adapter converts your ETX into a tele-
photo lens. Threads onto the rear cell of the ETX 80. Requires
camera-specic T-Mount.
ETX PE Back Cell Adapter. Accepts Schmidt
accessories. The Back Cell Adapter allows your ETX to accept
Schmidt-Cassegrain accessories like focal reducers, ip-mirrors,
and o-axis guiders. Turns your ETX into a world-class
astrophotography instrument.
1.25" Flip-Mirror System. #644 A must-have.
A necessity for any serious astrophotographer, the ip-mirror
system allows you to use both an eyepiece and a camera and “ip”
between them to center, compose, and focus your image before
shooting. UHTC coated. Includes adjustment screws and locks for
precise image centering. Mirror clear aperture: 22mm.
1.25" and 2" Flip-Mirror System. # 6 47 For larger
eyepieces and chips. Same as 1.25" Flip-Mirror but accepts
1.25” or 2" eyepieces. Larger 40mm mirror clear aperture
prevents vignetting with large-chip CCD imagers.
Piggyback brackets. Take your camera for a ride.
Piggyback photography is a popular and easy way to get started
in astrophotography. This bracket lets you attach your camera
(with lens) atop any Meade LX90 or LX200. Polar align
your scope in equatorial mode, use your scope to guide, and
take beautiful wide-eld photos of the Milky Way and other
regions. Please specify 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 inch.
