The Meade 6" f/10 LX85 ACF is a compact Advanced Coma-Free catadioptric telescope offering tack-sharp pinpoint star images with virtually no coma distortion and a remarkably flat field of view ideal for astrophotography. Featuring Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) on all optical surfaces and a 1524mm focal length housed in a tube under 17 inches long, this portable telescope excels for both visual observation of lunar and planetary details and deep-sky imaging. The ACF design eliminates diffraction spikes and reduces astigmatism compared to traditional Ritchey-Chrétien designs, making it an excellent choice for serious astrophotographers and discerning visual observers.
