• Meade 8” LXD75 Telescope for Sale
  From Astromomics.com: For the observer with reasonable access to dark skies, the Meade 8" LXD75 Schmidt-Newtonian reflector with UHTC (Ultra High Transmission Coatings) optics can provide deep space views of surprising, brightness, complexity, and detail. The Schmidt corrector lens reduces coma to about half that of conventional reflectors of similar aperture and focal ratio, making this scope more than just another “light bucket." It combines the good light gathering and wide field of view of a fast focal ratio 8" reflector with the automatic precision of go-to astronomy to open up the skies to images and capabilities previously unavailable in telescopes at this price point. And finding those extra deep space objects is as easy as pushing a button. Why be content with finding only six or seven deep space objects each night by searching manually, as with a conventional telescope? Even if you’ve never used a telescope before, by simply by pressing the Autostar go-to pushbutton you can observe hundreds of galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters on your very first night out – even if you’ve never used a telescope before. List price $1,699.00, Astronomics’ price $1,199.00 plus shipping and handling.
  Pick up this never been used telescope in Reynoldsburg for only $1,100.00
