Meade LX90 Telescopes from Venturescope
Advanced Capability: The Meade 8" LX90 is the first full-capability,
computer-controlled 8" Schmidt- Cassegrain ever offered in its price range.
Meade believe that the great majority of serious amateur astronomers want their
telescope not only to be a high-resolution visual observing instrument but also
to be fully qualified for the more advanced areas of astronomy, including
long-exposure CCD imaging and astrophotography. As detailed below, the LX90
meets all requirements in these areas.
Special features of the 8" LX90 include:
(a) a die-cast-aluminum double-tine fork mount that rigidly supports the optical tube in all sky orientations
(b) worm gears of 4.9"-diameter on both telescope axes that permit smooth sidereal-rate tracking of celestial objects as well as precise guiding corrections during long-exposure imaging
(c) a chromed-steel variable-height tripod that provides all the rigidity required in sensitive field applications -- in fact, the same tripod as provided with the Meade 8" LX200.
