We are proud to announce our new Meade LXD75 Series Telescopes, a line of high-quality equatorially mounted telescopes with computerized operation (or electronic operation with computer upgrade optional). The new LXD75 mount holds similarly configured, but improved optical tube assemblies to that now offered with LXD55 telescopes. You will be pleased to note this new series has many enhancements in quality, features, and general appearance.
New Design LXD75 Equatorial Mount
Designed for high-performance observing and astrophotography, these telescopes set a new Meade standard in their price class for sturdiness, precision operation, and smoothness of movement. With the LXD75, Meade engineers have created a virtually backlash free equatorial mount incorporating heavy-duty castings and four high-precision stainless steel ball bearings in both RA and Dec axes.
New Design LXD75 Drive System
The reliable LXD75 drive system has enhanced precision alignment of the motor gear assembly for greatly reduced backlash and tracking smoothness.
New Design Heavy-Duty Tripod
The new heavy-duty, all-metal field tripod utilizes a locking spreader bar (with three 1.25" eyepiece holders) to lock each leg in place, virtually eliminating flexure. Each leg has two anodized aluminum leg extension locks with an internal brake to eliminate slipping of the internal extending leg. These locks are inward facing so that no accidental bumping of the leg locks can occur.
New Optical Tube Assemblies
MEADE AUTOSTAR® The AutoStar controller helps you quickly find, and GoTo over 30,000 objects in the night sky. View planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and comets…all at the push of a button. AutoStar is pre-programmed with several guided tours, including the popular
Tonight’s Best. Input date, time and location—then let AutoStar take you on a guided tour of the best objects that particular night. The
AutoStar controller can be updated. Log on to Meade.com to download software upgrades, guided tours, and timely objects like comets—free. Keep your AutoStar upto- date and your telescope will grow with you for years to come.
Features: Eyepiece Holder Accepts both 1.25" & 2" eyepieces. Allows use of all common telescope accessories and cameras.** 8 x 50 Achromatic Viewfinder Easily locate and center deep sky objects Shaft & Bearing System The sturdy German Equatorial Mount is accurate and precise. The RA and Dec axes move effortlessly on four high-precision stainless steel ball bearings.
High-Precision Worm Gears Located on both axes for smooth tracking and slewing.
High-Precision Pointing (HPP) For even more precise pointing use the HPP function. HPP puts objects in the center of the field-of-view which allows you to confirm deep sky objects at the faintest limits of the telescope’s capability.
Periodic Error Correction Corrects periodic errors on the RA axis over the course of one or more training periods, thereby minimizing guiding corrections during long-exposure photography. 9-Speed Drive Controls From a rapid slew rate of 4.5°/sec. to 1x sidereal— it’s all controlled from the AutoStar controller. 3-Star Alignment Ensures precise alignment while eliminating the need for a complicated optical/mechanical alignment process.
Heavy-Duty Tripod Variable-height field tripod with spreader bar brace provides the stability and vibration damping required for visual observation and astrophotography. Illuminated Polar Alignment Viewfinder For quick, precise polar alignment.
Power Supply Powered by 8 D-size batteries. Can also be powered by optional car cigarette lighter or AC wall adapter.
SPECIFICATIONS OF THE OPTICAL SYSTEM:
8" Model SC-8 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope — 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube assembly (D= 203mm; F = 2032mm, f/10) with MgF2 coatings on the correcting lens and standard aluminum coatings on the primary and secondary mirrors with Ultra-High Transmission Coatings; white-enameled metal optical tube with machined aluminum front and rear cells; quick-release optical tube mount assembly with locks; 8 x 50mm achromatic viewfinder; Series 4000 Super Plössl 26mm eyepiece; diagonal prism.
