Meade LX 90 8 "Telescope

The Meade LX 90 8 "(203mm) telescope incorporates the highest quality Schmid-Cassegrain optical system on the market, with advanced Comma-free ACF optics and ultra-high transmission coatings on one side. Free optics Coma allows to widen the entire field of vision without having aberrations and not to lose detail of any celestial body, it also reduces astigmatism and eliminates diffraction peaks.Top quality coatings allow you to obtain the maximum brightness and contrast of the image.

It is a computerized telescope of the GOTO system , incorporating the AutoAling automatic alignment system that works together with the GPS (Sony GPS reciver), which incorporates the same telescope. The AutoStar command works as a telescope control system, correcting the periodic error during trackings or routes. Finally, the AudioStar system is an audio program that informs the user of the object they are viewing, the information is given in different languages, including Spanish. It contains a library of 30,000 objects.
