Meade LX80 Series 6000 Telescopes with Multi-Mount are top of the line astronomical telescopes designed for astro-photographers and discerning astronomers and observers. These telescopes utilize fully multi-coated optics for a crisp, bright image that translates well to film. Crayford-style 10:1 dual speed focusing allows you to zero in on celestial bodies and bring them in to sharp focus, ideal for magazine-quality photos. The Meade telescope features an apochromatic reflector, which reduces the color fringe common on many telescopes and can reduce astigmatism. The 2" diagonal prism of the Meade LX80 APO Telescope utilizes Ultra-High Transmission Coating for 99% reflectivity, bringing even more image brightness to your astronomy. The Meade LX80 Series 6000 Telescope even includes a custom hard carrying case so you can preserve the integrity of your instrument for years to come.

Though the Meade LX80 Apochromatic Telescope is excellent at viewing objects in the night sky, you'll need a computer to find and track objects reliably. Meade has equipped this APO telescope with a Meade LX80 Multi-Mount, an adaptable telescope mount that combines the features of many different mount types into one durable, reliable motorized mount. The Multi-Mount can function as a single or double OTA alt-azi telescope accessory, or even in German Equatorial mode for more precise tracking. Altazimuth mounts require precise computer correction to operate effectively, and the Multi-Mount has an excellent computer guidance system in the AudioStar software package. AudioStar has over 30,000 celestial objects to point your Meade LX80 APO Multi-Mount Telescope at; precision worm gear drives on both axes of the MultiMount smoothly guide your telescope into position while the SmartDrive makes minute real time error corrections. Astronomer Inside digital audio on this Meade telescope accessory even provides audio descriptions of objects you're viewing through the telescope. Situated on a sturdy stainless steel tripod that can hold up to 70 pounds of equipment, the Multi-Mount is an excellent Meade telescope accessory for getting the most out of your telescope. With a Meade LX80 MultiMount Apochromatic Telescope, the universe can come into full focus.
