Hello Friend,

As a generally rule of thumb, Meade Instruments is one of those companies that has traditionally given early
adopters of  new telescope products discounts as an incentive to order early.

They have done that with the  NEW LX600 Series of telescopes
as well, however that offer ends May 31st 2012.

I had an opportunity to see some of the NEW LX600 models, at the NEAF convention in April 2012
and they were quite impressive.

Speaking directly to some of the key people involved in the development
of the LX600 series, well let's just say they were pretty modest about their efforts.

Generally, engineers like to spend time developing products and bringing them to fruition, not
necessary to talk to folks about how and what they are doing, just let's get on with the job at hand!

Fair enough, we understand, so we will do some of the bragging on their behalf right here:

Just look at some of the features listed below:

Meade,s LX200 revolutionized 20th century amateur astronomy by making the sky accessible to all. Now Meade,s remarkable LX600 with StarLock technology will irrevocably alter 21st century amateur astronomy by bringing stunning astroimages to your backyard and Khan Scope Centre will be pleased to provide you with this instrument.

The fully computerized GoTo LX600 system includes a 144.000 + object database.

The LX600 fork mount boasts 5.75 gears and high quality worm gears on both axes.

The LX600 is a simple to operate, portable package that makes taking great astrophotos as easy as focusing your camera and opening the shutter. The collection of features and technology integrated into the LX600 is unavailable from any other manufacturer, cannot be duplicated by just attaching a set of add-ons to another scope and at Khan Scope Centre we are excited to use one in the field.

Star Lock

The LX600 integrates a unique star tracking and object finding system into the telescope mount. This integration allows the telescope to center your target perfectly in the field of view. Once centered, the star tracking system communicates directly with the motor drive system to automatically assure your scope stays locked onto its target with arcsecond precision. By locking onto actual stars, this automated optical tracking system delivers long-term guiding with pinpoint stars on astroimages despite misalignments, atmospheric refraction, periodic or other mechanical errors. Now at Khan Scope Centre, we call this an amazing combination of technology. This level of precision is unobtainable with systems using high precision encoders, software pointing models, large gears or PEC training-and all without the need of an external computer.

NEW F/8 Advanced Coma Free Optical System

Meade has completely redesigned the OTAs with a new mirror mounting and focusing system to achieve true zero image-shift and includes a two speed micro focuser. At Khan Scope Centre we call this value for the customer! The scope features faster F/8 ACF optics giving you pinpoint stars all the way across the field of view. The optional custom designed focal reducer makes your scope a full-frame, flat field F/5 optical system at a fraction of the cost of an OTA only from other manufacturers.

The F/8 Optical system comes with an internal Crayford-style 7:1 focuser that eliminates the need for mirror lock.

All NEW X-Wedge

Precision CNC-machined from ultra-ridged, aircraft-grade aluminum with smooth, accurate altitude and azimuth adjustments. Khan Scope Centre staff  are impressed with this achievement. Thirty percent more stable than competing equatorial wedges, the X-Wedge is the essential accessory for long exposure astroimaging.

Alt/Az Mode

In alt/az mode, the LX600 also makes for the best visual and short exposure experience possible. The LX600 performs LightSwitch fully-automated self alignment. StarLock will put every target dead center in the eyepiece and track with arcsecond accuracy so you can concentrate on the beautiful, wide fields of pinpoint stars created by superb F/8 ACF optical system.


Giant Field Tripod.

With 3 diameter chromed steel legs and cast aluminum tripod head, and adjustable from 34 to 54, the Giant Field Tripod provides a research-grade foundation for the LX600.

Portability

While you can achieve remarkable visual and imaging results from a suburban backyard, the ease of transporting an LX600 to a remote site will make you anxious to see what you can achieve under truly dark sky conditions.

After all is said and done, the LX600 is going to be a game changer once again in the field of amateur astronomy,
once again proving Meade Instruments leading edge in technology.

So, there you have it!  Here again is the link to all the various LX600 models, available in apertures from 10" to 16".
