Meade's
new, larger 80mm-diameter ETX Telescope 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 AutoStar
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, AutoStar
makes finding the sky’s elusive jewels virtually as easy as pushing a
few buttons. Observe land or over 1,400 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.Includes sturdy, adjustable, aluminum tripod.Now includes two premium four-element 1.25-inch Super Plössl eyepieces (SP9.7mm, SP26mm) offering comfortable long eye-relief and an expansive wide visual field. Bonus! AutoStar Suite Astronomer Software on DVD for PC, now with instructional DVD.The
AutoStar computer controller automatically guides your telescope to
over 1,400 objects. View planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulae 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 AutoStar
will automatically take you on a guided tour of the best planets,
stars, nebulae, 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. AutoStar 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-inch-diameter Super Plössl eyepieces provide wider fields of view,
allowing you to see more of the sky at greater magnifications. The
Meade ETX80 also makes a fantastic land-based observing scope. Simply
add the optional #933 Erect Image Prism to the ETX80 and it will correct your images for land-based viewing. AutoStar Suite Astronomer Edition Software on DVD + Instructional Video
AutoStar Suite Astronomer Edition software will help you learn the
night sky. It displays more than 10,000 celestial objects including
planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulae. You can print out star charts
and even plan your observing sessions. It operates on any Windows-based
PC.
