Meade LS 8" SC LightSwitch telescope. This 8"
f/10 (2000mm focal length) powerhouse telescope is feature packed and
portable. Meade's patented automatic self alignment system aligns with
just one touch of the power switch. Just flip the switch and walk away.
It aligns itself. It is that simple.
Includes genuine Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain optics with Ultra High
Transmission Coatings (UHTC) the ETX-LS gives you the sharpest,
brightest optical system for its size available at any price.
The included AutoStar III GOTO keypad computer has an over 100,000
object library and guided tour functions. Includes Meade ECLIPS color
CCD camera (640x480 resolution) which lets you capture images of your
favorite celestial wonders and display them in real time on an external
(user supplied) monitor or store them on a (user supplied) SD card so
you can do CCD imaging your very first night out.
The included “Astronomer Inside” feature delivers over four hours of
fun and informational audio presentations which can be heard over the
built in speaker, and 30 minutes of video presentations and animations
plus hundreds of still images which can be watched over an external
(user supplied) TV or monitor. Imagine being given a brief and
entertaining video presentation on Saturn while viewing that planet and
its fabulous rings for the very first time. This telescope truly does
it all.
Eight (user supplied) D cell batteries will run the telescope for
3-5 hours, with a Meade Universal A/C power supply available separately
for longer observing sessions. (See recommended accessories, below.)
Includes a highly rigid single fork mount featuring aluminum
construction with massive 4.875" precision worm-gears. Standard
equipment also includes a sturdy, adjustable height tripod with steel
legs for great stability and vibration damping and a Series 4000 Meade
26mm Super Plossl eyepiece (77X magnification). Additional eyepieces
available separately, compatible with all Meade and other brand 1.25”
barrel size eyepieces.
