Meade ETX-80AT Telescope
Meade ETX-80AT AAchromatic Refractor - £249.99
Meade’s new, larger 80mm diameter ETX delivers
more light-gathering for increased image brightness and greater detail. Moon
craters by the hundreds, cloud belts on Jupiter, and Saturn’s rings are just
the beginning of what can be seen with this telescope.
Meade’s brainy Auto Star computer solves the stargazer’s two biggest
challenges in navigating the heavens with a computer telescope: aligning the
telescope with the night sky and finding celestial phenomenon in the vast
starry firmament. Right out of the box with a simple initialization,
Auto Star makes finding the sky’s elusive jewels virtually as easy as pushing
a few buttons. Observe land or over 1400 sky objects in stunning high
resolution, and learn about the sky with Meade’s extensive astro-library.
The Meade ETX-80AT-TC has these new advanced features as standard-equipment:
A built-in Barlow lens flips into position when needed. This highly desirable feature provides more power when studying lunar and planetary surface features.
An internal Time Chip (TC) keeps precise factory calibrated time and date.
A Bubble-level/ Compass is provided to make initialization faster and easier.
Now includes two premium 4-element 1.25" Super Plössl eyepieces (SP9.7mm, SP26mm) offering comfortable long eye-relief and an expansive wide visual field.
Bonus! Auto Star Suite Astronomer Software on DVD for PC, now with instructional DVD.
#494 Auto Star® Computer Controller
The Auto Star computer controller automatically guides your telescope to over
1400 objects. View planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulas all at the push of
a button. Don’t know what to see on a particular night? Don’t worry. Just
select the Tonight’s Best™ tour and Auto Star will automatically take you on
a guided tour of the best planets, stars, nebulas and other objects out that
particular night. Want to know more about what you’re looking at? The LCD
display teaches you about what you’re viewing with details like distance,
temperature, mass, and historical information. Auto Star is your guide to the
universe.
More Power Than You’ll Ever Need.
Any astronomer will tell you that light gathering-not power-is what matters.
A small, crisp image is better than a large hazy one. Meade’s 1.25" diameter
Super Plössl eyepieces provide wider fields of view, allowing you to see
more of the sky at greater magnifications.
