Diffraction-limited Meade Advanced Coma-Free optics. Only Meade offers Ritchey-Chrétien
performance at Schmidt-Cassegrain prices.
Star parties all over the world are raving about Meade optics. Dr. P. Clay Sherrod of the Arkansas Sky
Observatory says, “I have to say that Meade optics have reached an amazingly sophisticated and consistent
level of quality these past few years. I test optics, so I’ve noticed. Sadly, some companies out there are cutting
corners on optics.” You’re buying a real instrument here. Buy the Meade LX90-ACF and you won’t be sorry.
Accurate pointing and tracking.
AutoStar
®
is the standard among sky navigation systems. Sky & Telescope magazine called the LX90’s
tracking “excellent” and the pointing “100 percent accurate.” Astrophotographer Steve Hamilton says
his LX90 performed “flawlessly out-of-the box,” adding that the “well-built mount also supports added
accessories like guide scopes and counterweights without compromising the rock-solid stability required for
long-exposure astrophotography.”
Larger mirrors, faster motors, easier alignment.
Only Meade Schmidt-Cassegrains have oversized primary mirrors which are larger than the scope’s listed
aperture to capture all of the light. Further, Meade’s faster slew speeds mean you’ll spend more time observing
and less time waiting on your telescope (not a bad benefit in sub-freezing weather). Finally, no matter what
you hear about alignment, it doesn’t get any easier than automatic. The LX90-ACF is so smart it knows the
night sky right out-of-the-box. You don’t have to teach it the night sky by manually slewing to three bright objects.
It nds two alignment stars for you automatically.
The UHTC
™
advantage.
Meade Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) are an amazing scientic breakthrough that increase
brightness by the equivalent of nearly an inch of aperture (depending on scope size). These coatings are
exclusive to Meade and make a real difference over competing scopes. Image brightness is increased by 15%
over standard coatings (see pg. 68).
Adding on to your LX90-ACF.
Your LX90-ACF is the perfect foundation for a lifetime of exploration. See pages 116-143 for additional
accessories that will help your scope grow with you for years to come.
