Meade 8\" LX10 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope:
$1000.00
This is a serious 8\" reflecting telescope with factory tripod mount for the amateur astronomer or for the more casual observer. It is a fork mounted, stable, but light weight and rigid telescope that can be used for sensitive, high power observing, or, imaging. It contains ball bearings on the polar axis to give it more precise action of the included worm gear drive, which is a standard part of this telescope.
It can be powered by a 9V battery, or 4 AA batteries (batteries are not included). There are two different compartments where the different size batteries are located. The hand controller that comes with the Telescope is essential for guiding the telescope for astrophotography.
I just checked out the DC electric motor drive and worm gear, and it works just fine. The keypad hand controller also seems to be working as described in the Owner\'s Manual.
This Telescope comes complete with a (1.25\") 90 degree eyepiece holder and diagonal prism, a Series 4000 Super Plossl 26mm eyepiece, a 2X Barlow lens, the original manual, additional star finding references, and best of all, it was made in USA! It also comes with a finder scope.
