Product description With a large oversized primary mirror, yet still portable enough to travel, the Meade Instruments LX850-ACF UHTC 14" 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 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
-
- Large 14" (356mm) aperture allows for detailed lunar and planetary viewing with the ability to resolve deep-sky objects
- Moderate f/8 focal ratio makes it a competent optic for astrophotography and imaging
- Long 2845mm focal length, despite compact form factor, provides a high magnification potential
- Advanced Coma-Free catadioptric design
- Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) system
- Resolution: 0.326 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
- Standard Schmidt-Cassegrain visual back threads accept most screw-on backs and accessories
- Factory-installed finderscope dovetail saddle accepts compatible finders
- Optical Technologies
- Advanced Coma-Free System:
- Reduces off-axis comas and astigmatism for sharper images
- Eliminates diffraction spikes for better resolution
- Aplanatic design produces flat, distortion-free images across the field of view—especially at the edges
Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC):- All corrector plate and mirror surfaces are fully multi-coated
- Engineered to optimize visual, photographic, and CCD imaging
- Improve light transmission across the entire visible spectrum through the optical path
- Corrector plate coatings made up of multiple layers of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and magnesium fluoride (MgF2)
- Mirror coatings consist of aluminum with multi-layer coatings of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2)
- Mounting
-
