Product description With the smallest aperture in the series for a combination of power and portability, the Meade Instruments LX850-ACF UHTC 10" f/8 Catadioptric Telescope utilizes their Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) catadioptric light path to reduce color fringing and off-axis comas, enabling it to clearly resolve dim deep-sky objects and easily split binary stars with tack-sharp clarity. Complementing the ACF system is their Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) system that improves light transmission through the entire light path across the whole visible spectrum. A combination of high-transmittance lens coatings and highly reflective mirror coatings boost image brightness, while minimizing external light loss and internal diffraction.Meade built this series for users who have a reliable mount and support system with all their favorite eyepieces and accessories, so this LX-850 is offered here as just the optical tube assembly (OTA)—other required accessories such as visual backs, finders, eyepieces, and diagonals are also not included. Meade only includes a large Losmandy-style dovetail plate, with sturdy and stable radius blocks for added strength, to make it easier to install on a mount out of the box, and a factory-installed dovetail finder saddle that will accept most Meade finder brackets. - Optical Tube Assembly
-

- Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) catadioptric design
- Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) system
- Resolution: 0.456 arcsec, Dawes' Limit
- 7:1 dual-speed internal Crayford focuser enables fast coarse and precise fine focusing with zero backlash—especially useful for viewing deep-sky objects and splitting binary stars or clusters
