Meade ETX-80AT-TC Astro Telescope With Autostar

New Meade ETX 80AT TC scope!

New from Meade! Replacing the ETX-70 AT, the new ETX-80AT-TC with AutoStar features a larger, 80mm objective lens to let you see more of what's out there!

Not only has the aperture increased, but the ETX-80's mount appears larger and more substantial that its predecessor's. That translates into steadier viewing and less image-dance.

Significantly, the new ETX-80 also includes a clock-chip for keeping precise time and date - there'll be no need ever again to call for the precise time when you're trying to set AutoStar. The mount also is supplied with a new bubble level/compass for fast orientation of the telescope to level and true north.

Two new two Super Plossl eyepieces, 9.7mm and 26mm ship with the ETX-80AT-TC, as well. These give out-of-the-box magnifications as great as 41X. And to go with them, there's an internal, flip-in Barlow lens. This increases the power of the included eyepieces or any others you choose to use.

All in all, the new ETX-80AT-TC is probably the best value available today in an easy-to-use refracting telescope!

All of the major planets except Pluto are easily observable through the ETX-80AT. Study Saturn and its ring system, the primary cloud belts of Jupiter, as well as the four major Jovian satellites, the Moonlike phases of Mercury and Venus, prominent features on Mars, and view star-like images of the distant planets Uranus and Neptune.

The Moon, too, stands out in stark, almost three-dimensional detail, prominently showing off its craters, mountain ranges, and fault lines. In our galaxy the telescope displays hundreds of nebulae, star clusters, double and multiple stars, and variable stars-plus dozens of external galaxies in all their variations of form and structure.
