Product description The Meade Instruments LX85 6" f/5 Reflector Telescope utilizes a highly-reflective parabolic primary mirror to produce bright and clear views of difficult-to-see deep-sky objects like wispy nebulae.The Newtonian reflector design enables larger apertures than are practical in conventional refractors, allowing novices and intermediate astronomers to reach out into the universe with ease to enjoy wonders like galaxies, nebulae, globular clusters, and more. Added to this already impressive performance is a sturdy rack-and-pinion focuser that is outfitted with a 2" holder for eyepieces and accessories. A 1.25" reducer adapter is also provided to use smaller (and more common) eyepieces and accessories. To help get new users started, Meade includes two eyepieces that produce low and high magnifications, along with an 8x50 finderscope.This version of the LX85 is offered here without a mount or tripod for users who already have a reliable support system and are looking to upgrade their OTA, or add another to their astronomy kit. It is outfitted with a Vixen-style dovetail rail to make it compatible with a wide variety of mounts from virtually any manufacturer. - Optical Tube Assembly
-
- Large 6" (150mm) aperture is ideal for viewing and imaging of deep-sky objects like nebulae, as well as the moon and planets
- Fast f/5 focal ratio helps to preserve a wide field of view, image brightness, and resolution
- 750mm focal length maintains a generous field of view with a moderate magnification potential
- Newtonian reflector design reduces chromatic aberration and fringing, while allowing larger apertures versus refractor models
- Aluminum and SiO2 optical coatings on the primary parabolic mirror maximize light transmission through the light path to ensure bright and crisp views
- Single-speed 2" rack-and-pinion focuser allows the use of larger eyepieces and accessories
