Meade LX200

The Meade 12" LX200GPS with UHTC (£3999) is a big beast of a scope. It is a Schmidt Cassegrain telescope, which basically means it has a conveniently short tube, about 20" for the 12" (the 12" is the diameter of the tube) model. At the bottom end of the tube is a concave primary mirror with ... Read review

LX200 12" GPS

Advantages: GOTO makes faint fuzzies easy, more time for observing.
Disadvantages: Heavy, just carryable by one if you are strongish.

The Meade 12" LX200GPS with UHTC (£3999) is a big beast of a scope. It is a Schmidt Cassegrain telescope, which basically means it has a conveniently short tube, about 20" for the 12" (the 12" is the diameter of the tube) model. At the bottom end of the tube is a concave primary mirror with a hole, about 2" in its centre, this mirror recieves light through the top end and reflects it back to a secondary flat mirror which ...
...with one eyepiece, a 26mm Meade super plossl. It is a good quality eyepiece but more are needed to get the most from the scope. A range of eyepieces from about 6mm to 32mm is usefull. However, normal eyepieces give you quite a narrow field of view when you look through them, but it is still a good view. To get that WOW factor and increase the field of view requires wide angle eypieces, Meade do some as do the Naglar company. They are expensive though, ... more

Great telescope for serious amateurs

Advantages: Easy to use and good for beginners
Disadvantages: Quite expensive for a decent size

...trained on a 10" LX200 Meade as part of my astrophysics course. It's easy to use and simple to start finding your way around the sky. It's quick to set up after the intitial input of data such as your latitude and longtitude etc. It can be set up with an adapted mechanical camera or with a CCD for the serious amateur. It's a fairly robust telescope and fully motorised. This means you can put in a star's coordinates and hit 'goto' and it will locate ...
...any telescope. The Meade has advantages over a reflector, namely that it is smaller and has a higher magnification power for the same diameter. However, a 10" Meade will cost you more than a 10" reflector. This telescope is, theoretically, portable but you'll need a car and a willing friend. It's a good telescope to begin astrophotography on, also if one wants to start sketching lunar features or the position of planets and their satellites. A good ...
