Meade LX80 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope with Multi-Mount is an effective telescope and mount combination that will have you finding, viewing, and tracking distant celestial bodies in no time. High quality optics are the key to the success of Meade telescopes, and the company has been perfecting their Schmidt-Cassegrain optics for years. Featuring an optical tube with an f/10 focal ratio and a comfortable, wide 4000 Series Super Piossl eyepiece, this telescope is easy to use and highly accurate. You'll also get superb image clarity with the Meade LX80 SC Telescope; a water-white glass reflector compliments the Ultra-High Transmission Coating of the optics for optimum light transmission. Objects viewed through the Meade LX80 Schmidt-Cassegrain UHTC Telescope will be incredibly bright and high resolution.

The Meade LX80 SC Telescope with Multi-Mount comes packaged with Meade's innovative Multi-Mount, a sturdy telescope mount that can track objects in three different modes. This Meade telescope accessory features sturdy stainless steel tripod legs (a stocky 2" in diameter each) that can hold up to 70 pounds of telescope weight. The Meade LX80 MultiMount gets its name from its ability to function in three different modes. Use the telescope accessory in the German Equatorial configuration, the single OTA alt-azimuth configuration, or the dual OTA alt-azimuth configuration to get the tracking capabilities you're looking for. An AudioStar computer controller on this Meade LX80 series telescope ensures that you'll always have something from the 30,000 item index of celestial objects to observe and track, and you and your colleagues can even get a little extra information on what you're observing with the Astronomer Inside digital audio tool. SmartDrive technology provides minute error correction for your Meade LX80 Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope, giving your telescope pinpoint accuracy of up to 5 arcmeters in high precision mode. For a guided tour of the night sky in high resolution, bring the Meade LX80 SC White Glass Telescope to your observatory.
