Made LX 850 APO 6000 ED 5.1 "130mm Telescope

The highest optical quality of the APO 6000 ED tubes is combined with the German LX 850 equatorial mount, making a perfect equipment for observation and astrophotography. 130mm (5.1 ") aperture, f / 7 focal ratio and 910mm focal length.  

Apochromatic optics and extra low dispersion ED (FK61) technology guarantee the highest quality optics, which are combined with the triplet coating system to obtain images of admirable contrast and definition . The extinction of any type of chromatic aberration is ensured. The Cryford dual speed 3 "precision micro focuser is incorporated. This set of optical characteristics are highly valued for astrophotography , especially on planets and other celestial bodies.
It incorporates the StarLock permanent automatic guidance system, a revolutionary guidance technology for long exposures. This guidance system finds the star through a double chamber and guides it with an accuracy of 1 arc second (up to 11th magnitude stars) and also incorporates the LightSwitch automatic alignment system. With MEADE's exclusive LIGHTSWITCH technology at its core, the StarLock uses 80mm af / 5 optics and a dual system of sensors that will provide a computer-aided aid in Pole Star Alignment using the drift method . StarLock allows you to acquire images on your guidance sensor and thus proceed with automatic guidance during long exposures. StarLock itself will program for the correction of the permanent periodic error. This guidance system and the CrayFord dual-speed (10: 1) internal focusing system are essential for the astrophotographic use of the telescope.

It has 225-tooth crowns with a bronze crown / bisenphin system with a very low periodic error, interior wiring, GPS receiver , GOTO AUTOSTAR II system with a library of more than 144,000 objects , a high-capacity tripod with adjustable height and anti-mounting brackets. vibration, PC USB port connection cable and AutoStar Suite software.
