MEADE ETX125 PE TELESCOPE + AUTOSTAR

Meade ETX125 PE telescope + AutoStar

The Meade ETX125 PE telescope + AutoStare is a perfect telescope for beginners and advanced astronomers.

The Meade ETX125 telescope differs from most telescopes because searching objects and aligning the telescope has never been so easy - thanks to the Autostar controller! The motorized telescope has a database featuring 30,000 objects. You press a button and tell the telescope what object you would like to see, and the ETX 125PE does the rest!

You want to see deep-space galaxies? Just push the button and the telescope moves and focuses on the deep sky galaxy of your choice. You want to see the moon, or Jupiter, or other stars? Select the object that you want to see and push the button, the Meade ETX 125PE AutoStar controller will automatically point your telescope to the desired object and place it right in your eyepiece.

What makes this telescope so special?

1. Firstly, this telescope has "EasyAlign" with "SmartFinder". Normally speaking, you have to align your telescope manually to focus on a particular star. This is no longer necessary because the telescope will automatically do this for you. The ETX 125PE telescope sets up itself, aims at the north and sets the time. The only thing you have to do is enter a location. Then the telescope focuses on the first alignment star. You can then use the smart finder to centre the red dot on the target stars for ultra-precise point accuracy. And that's it!
2. In addition to the EasyAlign feature, the telescope has a controller, called the "AutoStar". This is a handset that automatically shows the objects that you want to see. The database features 30,000 objects, so you will never get bored. Furthermore, the feature "Tonight's Best" included; this system shows you the best objects to see with your telescope on a particular night and time.
3. The optics of this telescope are very good. Meade has used an optical design that we call "Maksutov-Cassegrain". This means that the telescope uses both lenses and mirrors. The optics ensure minimal deflection and are so bright and clear that the ETX-125PE telescope consistently outperforms telescopes with a larger aperture. The glass in the telescope is BK-7 glass, the mirrors are made of Pyrex.
4. The telescope has "ultra-high transmission coatings (UHTC). This coating enhances your image because it is designed to optimize the visual, photographic and CCD imaging of the ETX125. Stars, galaxies and nebulae will be a whole lot brighter!
