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.

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.
