Meade ETX125 AT Telescope

New low price - The Meade ETX125 Telescope has UHTC Maksutov optics and over 30,000 objects in its database, a complete package - telescope, tripod (with carry bag), autostar handset, 26mm eyepiece, software and manual. Until now, the stargazer's two biggest challenges to enjoying the night sky have been aligning their telescope and finding objects. Meade’s ETX eliminates these two challenges and makes astronomy as easy as pushing a button after a simple two star alignment. Want to see a hard-to-find deep space galaxy? Simply push a button. The same goes for planets, stars, nebulae and more. Just pick an object you want to observe, press a button, and then AutoStar® will automatically point your telescope and put it right in your eyepiece.



BBC Sky at Night magazine highly commended July 2011 scoring 92%

Don't know what you want to see this evening? Go to the "Tonight's Best" tour in your AutoStar. It automatically selects the best objects in the sky for that particular time and location (from its database of over 30,000 celestial objects). All you need is a clear night, a dark sky and a little curiosity.

Maksutov optical system
Serious astronomers for years have flocked to the Meade ETX for its observatory-quality Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system. Its diffraction-limited optics are so crisp in contrast, brightness and image resolution that they consistently out-perform telescopes of larger aperture. All ETX telescopes features BK-7 glass and oversized Pyrex primary mirrors.

UHTC coatings
Meade UHTC is a series of exotic optical coatings precisely tuned to optimize the optical performance of your ETX telescope. Image brightness is increased by nearly 15% over standard coatings. Objects such as stars, galaxies and nebulae as observed through your ETX will be dramatically brighter. Even observations of the Moon and planets will benefit in increased image brightness from the full spectrum of light transmission.

Easy Alignment & Red Dot Finder
Meade's ETX autostar finds two alignment stars for you to centre, level your telescope, point it to North with the included bubble level / compass and set the time, then just enter your location then autostar it will point the ETX to the first alignment star. Use the new Red Dot Finder to center the red dot over the alignment stars for ultra-precise pointing accuracy. It’s that easy.
