Autoalign - Meade LX 90 Telescopes with Meade Auto Align come pre-aligned. They are smart scopes that know the night sky right out of the box. Meade AutoAlign picks two fail-proof alignment stars for you and places them right in your viewfinder. Just center them to fine tune your alignment and the wonders of the universe are at your fingertips.

Advanced Coma-Free Design - Meade 's ACF optical design produces coma-free pinpoint star images and a flatter field that discerning astrophotographers and most professional observatories expect, and reduces the astigmatism and eliminates diffractions spikes found in classical RCs.

Oversized Primary Mirror - Only Meade manufactures their primary mirrors in diameters larger than their listed aperture (e.g. the diameter of Meade 8" LX90 Telescope 's primary mirror is actually 8.25").This additional 1/4" yields a wider, fully illuminated field-of-view, and allows you to see the light other Telescopes leave behind.

Slew Speed - Meade LX 90 ACF Computerized Telescope slews (moves) from star to star at 7 degrees per second. That is more than twice as fast as the competition. This means that over the course of an evening, Meade LX90ACF Telescope will show you two to three times more objects.

Rigid Cast Aluminum Fork Mount - The Meade LX90ACF OTA Optical Tube Assembly is mounted on two sturdy fork arms giving you a rock solid platform for astrophotography.

Meade LX200 Series Tripod - Meade LX90 ACF Telescopes come standard with the same sturdy field tripod as the Meade LX200 ACF Telescopes.

Smart Drive - Meade AudioStar provides Periodic Error Correction PEC(in polar mode). Over the course of one or more training periods your LX90ACF Meade Telescope will minimize guiding corrections during long exposure astro photography.

Smartfinder (Red Dot) & 8 x 50 Viewfinder - Quickly and easily locate and center deep sky objects.

made in specialized factories - All Meade LX90 ACF Telescopes are made in specialized factories at Meade 's state-of-the-art design and manufacturing facility in Irvine, California.
