![]() Meade 's engineering team (the largest in the industry) meticulously designs and engineers the highest quality optics, precision mechanics, and advanced electronics into every telescope they manufacture. Do check out reviews of other beginners to intermediate-level telescopes Here.For over three decades, Meade has led the development of astronomical equipment through engineering innovations that have changed the way amateur astronomers view and photograph the night sky. All you need is a decent size telescope with some features. Then you don’t need a very expensive telescope. But, if you are a beginner or advanced beginner in astronomy. We hope you learned something new about this super professional and expensive telescope. That is the reason the telescope is quite expensive and costs $21000. ![]() It does get very costly to manufacture such a telescope. So, to design such a telescope is difficult and costly. So it should be able to last long with minimal maintenance. All the parts of such a big telescope need to be of good quality and designed for the long term.Īlso, the telescope is huge. Which provides unprecedented sharp detailed images.Īs we all know, as the aperture size of the telescope increases the price of the telescope also increases. This telescope is made for professional astronomical observation. This telescope has the biggest aperture you can buy for your backyard astronomy. Especially at the edges, with reduced astigmatism for sharper images. Because of this, it produces flat, distortion-free images across the field of view. As the telescope uses Advanced coma-free technology, it is free from spherical and coma aberrations. It helps in the reflection of the light rays. The mirrors have a coating of Aluminum with multi-layer coatings of titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide. Multiple layers of aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, and magnesium fluoride coat the corrector plates. All these mirrors and corrector plates are fully multi-coated. It uses both corrector plates and mirrors. The telescope has an Advanced Coma-Free optical system with Ultra-High Transmission Coatings. It has a focal length of 3251mm & a focal ratio of 8. The telescope’s optical tube has an aperture of 16-inch (406mm). The Audio-Star and Star-Lock work together to improve the tracking accuracy over time. This helps the telescope to center your target perfectly in the field of view all the time. It sends the data to the smart mount and smart drive systems. After that, it compares them to an internal database to automatically align the scope.ĭuring long exposures, the Star-Lock system continuously checks its orientation and tracking. These cameras take wide-field photos of the night sky. It has two cameras built into the telescope. This is a small refractor telescope with an 80mm aperture. The Star-lock is a different small telescope that sits on the top of your main Optical tube assembly. Meade’s Star-lock technology makes guiding and locking on celestial objects completely automatic. Star-lock technologyĬombined with the Audio-Star, the telescope has Star-lock technology. It will tell you about all the features of the craters and the mountains on the moon. The Audio-Star can take you on guided tours of the moon where the Apollo landings happened. ![]() This improves your stargazing experience. While observing the Audio-Star tells you everything about the object. ![]() This is very helpful when you find some new object in the sky. It will also predict solar and lunar eclipses for the next 100 years.Īs you set up the telescope, the Audio-Star will guide you around the celestial objects you are viewing. It can calculate future events like sunrises and meteor showers. The Audio-Star technology has very high precision. It ranges from the moon to planets to different constellations. It has a database of 145,000 celestial objects. The brain of this mount is Meade’s Audio-Star technology. The mount has an accuracy of 1 arc second. The mount has 11 gears which ensure smooth movement and accurate star location. The moment you turn it on, it determines its location, date, and time. It comes with an in-built GPS receiver and time chip. The double fork mount is the motorized alt-azimuth mount. ![]()
