Meade ETX-125PE Astro Telescope
Meade ETX-125PE Maksutov Cassegrain -
£699.99
UHTC including Autostar & Tripod
Just because a star may
be millions of years old, doesn't mean it should take you that long to find
it.
Until now, the stargazer's two biggest challenges to enjoying the night sky
have been aligning their telescope and finding objects. Meade’s new ETX
Premier Edition eliminates these two challenges and makes astronomy as easy
as pushing a button – right out of the box. Want to see a hard-to-find deep
space galaxy? Simply push a button. The same goes for planets, stars,
nebulae and more. Just pick an object you want to observe, press a button,
and then Auto Star® will automatically point your telescope and put it right
in your eyepiece.
Don't know what you want to see this evening? Go to the “Tonight's Best™”
tour in your Auto Star. It automatically selects the best objects in the sky
for that particular time and location (from its database of over 30,000
celestial objects). All you need is a clear night, a dark sky and a little
curiosity. Whether you already know the sky by heart, or are just beginning
your journey of discovery, your Meade ETX-Premier Edition will take you
where you want to go. Astronomy has never been so fun and rewarding.

Serious astronomers for years have flocked to
the Meade ETX for its observatory-quality Maksutov Cassegrain optical
system. Its diffraction-limited optics are so crisp in contrast, brightness
and image resolution that they consistently out-perform telescopes of larger
aperture. All ETX telescopes features BK-7 glass and oversized Pyrex®
primary mirrors. The entire optical system is manufactured at Meade's
state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Irvine, California.
The Meade Auto Star controller helps you quickly find, and GoTo over 30,000
objects in the sky. View planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae and comets all at
the push of a button. You don't already know the night sky? Let our
programmed Tonight's Best™ tour in your Auto Star automatically point your
telescope to the best objects in the sky. Astronomy has never been so easy
and rewarding.
Automatic
Alignment + Smart Finder™
Meade's new ETX-Premier Edition automatically levels your telescope, points
it to North and sets the time. You just enter your location or zip code.
After your ETX completes its patented Level North automatic alignment
procedure it will point to the first alignment star. Use the new wide-field
Smart Finder to centre the red dot over the alignment stars for ultra-precise
pointing accuracy. It’s that easy.
• Electronic Level Sensor
• Electronic Magnetic North Sensor
• High Precision Internal Clock
• Red Dot Viewfinder (Smart Finder™)
Includes Field Tripod
Constructed of strong, lightweight steel, the
full-length Meade #884 Deluxe Field Tripod provides a rigid mounting
platform for virtually any ETX observing application.
Sturdy field tripod
Chrome-plated steel legs
Adjustable height
Equatorial or Alt-Az position

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.
