![]() Smart Drive™ provides permanent periodic error correction (PPEC) on both axes by learning and averaging error over the course of one or more training periods, thereby minimizing guiding corrections during long-exposure photographs. Primary Mirror Lock allows you to lock the mirror in place preventing movement during long-exposure astrophotography. This additional 1/4" yields a wide, fully illuminated field-of-view. Meade primary mirror diameters are greater than their listed aperture (e.g., the diameter of the 8" LX200-ACF is actually 8.25"). Focus is controlled thru the Autostar II handbox. Perfect for astroimaging or during planetary observation. ![]() Optional for the 8", 10", 12",14" and standard with the 16" models, allows you to obtain precise image focus with no image movement. Objects such as stars, galaxies and nebulae will appear significantly brighter. Increasing total light transmission and image brightness by nearly 20% over Meade's standard coatings. Meade Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC™). The LX200-ACF is the perfect platform for the demanding researcher and imaging enthusiast with telescopes available in apertures of 8 inches, 10 inches, 12 inches, 14 inches, and 16 inches. Building from a classic RC design, Meade has created a new design with the same coma-free pinpoint star images and flatter field also reduces the astigmatism and eliminates diffractions spikes found in classical RCs. It's the biggest news in astronomy since, well, the LX200.į/10 Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) Optics. The LX200-ACF includes all the field-proven features of the LX200 including GPS, Primary Mirror Lock, Oversized Primary Mirror, SmartDrive™, Smart Mount™, AutoStar® II and more. Now you can own similar optics to what the professionals use. Nearly every observatory reflector in the world uses an aplanatic (coma-free) optical system like the Ritchey-Chrétien (RC), including NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Meade's LX200-ACF brings Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optics within reach of aspiring astronomers everywhere. ![]() The most widely used research quality telescope. ![]()
