Meade ETX90 PE telescope + AutoStar

Meade ETX90 PE telescope
The Meade ETX90 PE telescope is a very popular Meade telescope and the perfect telescope for the amateur astronomer. The Meade ETX90 differs from most telescopes because searching objects and aligning the telescope with the Autostar controller has never been so easy. The motorized telescope has a database of 30,000 objects. You press a button and tell the telescope what object you wish to see, and the Meade ETX 90 telescope will do the rest!

Finding objects made easy
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 ETX90PE AutoStar controller will automatically point your telescope to the desired object and places it right in your eyepiece.

What makes this telescope so special?

1. First of all, this telescope has "Easy Align" 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 90PE telescope sets itself up, aims at the north and sets the time. The only thing you need 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 EasyAlign the telescope has a controller, the so-called "AutoStar". This is a handset that automatically shows the objects that you want to see. There is a database of 30,000 objects, so you will never get bored. Furthermore, "Tonight's Best" is 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 exceptionally 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-90PE 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 ETX90. Stars, galaxies and nebulae will be a lot brighter.
