8" LX85 ACF with Mount and Tripod

The Meade 8" f/10 LX85 ACF telescope with mount and tripod combines portable but powerful optics with an equatorial GoTo mount that both observers and astro-imagers will appreciate. The patented Advanced Coma Free (ACF) optics produce impressively flat fields of view with none of the coma distortion inherent in some other designs, even out to the edges of larger format cameras or extreme wide angle eyepieces. Meade has created the LX85-ACF using a new optical design with coma-free pinpoint star images and flatter field that discerning astrophotographers and most professional observatories expect. With its big 8" aperture and long focal length of 2032mm, the 8" f/10 LX85 ACF telescope penetrates deep into space to resolve stunning views of distant star clusters, planetary nebulae, and elusive galaxies.
