Item Description

Whether you want to study Saturn and its ring system, the primary cloud belts of Jupiter, or mountain ranges and other terrestrial objects, the Meade ETX-60AT offers extraordinary power for its price. It offers a 60mm multicoated, air-spaced achromatic objective lens manufactured with Grade A crown and flint optical glass components. The flip-mirror system lets you observe in the standard 90-degree position. Just flip the internal optical flat mirror up, and you'll be set for sky viewing.

It's easy to carry, so you can take the Meade ETX-60AT to a distant mountaintop or to your own back yard. It only needs a quick 60-second alignment for setup. This telescope includes an Autostar hand controller that permits the automatic location of over 1,400 celestial objects. Just enter the object you wish to observe and watch as the telescope moves rapidly to place the object in your field of view. The Meade ETX-60AT also includes a serial interface, so you can download new software through your PC to the telescope. This way, the positions of Earth satellites may be updated for observation, or newly discovered objects, such as comets, can be located.

  • Convenient electronic hand controller
  • Autostar automatically finds Saturn, Jupiter, the Andromeda Galaxy and over 1200 other celestial wonders at the touch of a button.
  • Complete observatory system - everything you need to explore the heavens
  • Great land-view telescope
  • 25mm diameter lens included
