Faster slew speeds
EXHIBIT 6
At a sleepy three degrees per second, it takes competing
telescopes a full minute to move from horizon to horizon.
Yawn. That’s why slew speeds on Meade LX90-ACF
™
,
LX200-ACF
™
, and LX400-ACF
™
telescopes are two to
three times faster than the competition. When it’s cold
and dark, or for that matter just late, those extra star-
gazing seconds really add up. Thanks to faster align-
ment and faster GoTo slewing, a Meade telescope will
show you two to three times more objects over the course
of an evening. Not that it’s a race. We just think you’d
rather watch the universe in motion than your telescope
in motion.

Variable speeds let you GoTo objects at maximum speed
then select a slower speed to fine tune placement for
astrophotography or scientific measurements. LX90-
ACF scopes have 9 variable speeds. LX200-ACF and
LX400-ACF models offer 185 different speeds!
