Meade LX200 Computerized Telescope – VERY NICE
 
 
‘Although We Can Barely Touch The Sky, We Sure Can Enjoy The View’
 
 
    Offered is a gently used Meade LX-200 EMC telescope with computer controlled GOTO features. This telescope has a 2032mm (80″) focal length built into a ‘folded’ Schmidt-Cassegrain system, making it much more compact than a conventional Newtonian style. The mirror is a full 8″ wide and gathers a very large amount of light making it great for viewing faint night objects. The rings of Saturn, the rings and moons of Jupiter, the Orion Nebula and even the Andromeda Galaxy are all easy to see with this telescope. 
 
   It is in good condition and everything works well.  The Meade LX-200 has an advantage over Meade’s standard version LX-50, this one having higher precision optics, special EMC (super multi coatings) lens coating, a remote hand controller and large 9×50 finder scope.  The dual quartz computer controlled motors make a Polar wedge obsolete, with its accurate tracking, once aligned. It has everything you need to get deep into the hobby of Astronomy and even Astro Photography. It is easy to transport (comes with its own transport case), & set up, using the heavy duty tripod. 
 
   Once aligned (takes 3 minutes), you then find your night sky object, make sure the computer is turned on and this telescope will follow it perfectly in your eyepiece, even as the Earth rotates.  Long photography exposures are now easy and can yield sharp pictures as the telescope tracks your object moving across the sky.  Up & Down, and even Side to Side movements are metered automatically by the built-in electric motors.  Or just can tell the computer (through the hand controller) what object you want to view in the sky, hit ‘Enter’ and the motors automatically slew it to that new location, with a library of over 64,000 to choose from.  The electronic control panel runs on 18 volts, or even 12 volts from your automobile battery.  Both power adaptors are included in this offering.  You can change eyepieces for different magnifications too, and it’s all done so easily. 
 
   And another feature: if close-up nature photography is something you like to do, then you can be far away and yet move right up beside your object as you attach your camera to the rear of this LX200, turning it into a giant 8″ telephoto lens (using optional camera adaptor; & T mount … I purchased mine from Meade for $50 for both, for my Canon OES).   It’s a great scope, very sturdily built, in good condition and clean; and way better than the average telescope for some serious stargazing.  I took it out a fews days ago (just before it started to cloud up) and marvelled at the clarity of M42 (Orion Nebula) with its wispy nebula gas cloud.  And Mars, which is now high up in the southern sky and moving quickly, gives a wonderful red view of its surface features & still doesn’t set until well after midnight.  About 3 hrs after sunset, Saturn’s rings are up high enough in the east / southeastern sky for some clear viewing as well (to the right of Arcturus and a little higher), and all easily visible through this marvellous LX200.  Did you know that Saturn’ ring’s are over a hundred thousand km wide but only 20 meters thick? … amazing .. and you can see it all!

Meade ETX-125PE Premier Edition Telescope has the same great feature as Meade ETX-125AT Astro Telescope (Premium Meade Defruction-Limited Optics, Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design, Oversized primary Mirror, Motorized Dual-Axis Drive System, Flip-Mirror System) PLUS additional features, that make Meade ETX PE Telescopes totally plug-and-play and more user-friendly. The advantages of Meade ETX-PE Premium Edition Telescopes are: Meade AutoAlign, Meade SmartFinder, Meade Deluxe Autostar Computer Controller #497 (with 30,0000 objects database). Meade ETX PE Premier Edition automatically levels your telescope, points it to North and sets the time. You just enter your location or zip code. After your Meade ETX-PE Computerized Telescope completes its patented Level North automatic alignment procedure it will point to the first alignment star, use the new wide-field Meade SmartFinder to center the red dot over the alignment stars for ultra-precise pointing accuracy. Use Meade Autostar Controller #497 to guide the universe with a push of a button. Meade ETX-125 PE Telescope with AutoAlign comes pre-aligned. Meade AutoAlign makes set-up and alignment of the Meade ETX PE Premier Edition Autostar Telescope virtually a no-brainer. Just enter your city or ZIP Code and you are good to go. Meade AutoAlign Technology will automatically align your Meade ETX 125 PE Telescope and find two fine-tuning stars for you. Once aligned, simply push the GoTo button to see your choice of over 30,000 objects in the night sky. What is alignment anyway? To give you a guided tour of the universe, your telescope needs to know its bearings. Things like location, time, and date all affect where heavenly objects can be found at any given moment. Telescope Alignment is simply a way to synchronize your telescope with the night sky. Meade has patented the simplest, and most effective alignment procedure in the world. All Meade ETX PE Premier Edition AutoStar Telescopes feature Meade Auto Align alignment procedure. Meade Telescopes with AutoAlign are smart scopes that perform this simple procedure for you automatically. Meade Telescope ETX125 PE also features Meade SmartFinder – the easiest way to center a star. Meade Smart Finder Red Dot Scope helps novices with one of the early frustrating parts of astronomy: centering objects in the finder scope. To the veteran, this is easy. But to a novice it can feel like looking for stars through a drinking straw. By contrast, Meade ’s unique red dot finderscope lets you look at a wide field of the sky with both eyes open. You simply center the red dot on the object you want to see. Then look through your telescope eyepiece and it will be there. Meade Deluxe AutoStar Controller # 497 – the heart of Meade ETX PE Computer Guided Telescopes – finds things in the night sky for you. Meade AutoStar Computer Controller # 497 helps you quickly find, and GoTo over 30,000 objects in the night sky (classic Meade ETX Telescopes come with Meade Autostar #494 with 1,400 objects database) . View planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and comets… all at the push of a button. Meade AutoStar is pre-programmed with several guided tours, including the popular Tonight’s Best. Let Meade AutoStar take you on a guided tour of the best objects for that particular night. Meade AutoStar grows with you. Meade AutoStar Update lets you connect to the internet to download new software versions (Meade Autostar #497 ONLY), special guided tours, and timely objects like satellites and comets right to your AutoStar controller. All for free. You can also learn to create and download personalized tours of your favorite objects. So your Meade AutoStar will get better and better with no added investment but your time. Meade Autostar Computer Controller also keeps objects in the eyepiece. With a manual telescope, the earth’s rotation causes objects to move quickly out of your field of view. Not with Meade ETX PE AutoStar Telescopes. Meade Autostar tracks objects automatically, keeping them dead center in your eyepiece for viewing or astrophotography. All Meade ETX and Meade ETX PE Telescopes come with Meade UHTC Coatings. Meade UHTC is a series of exotic optical coatings precisely tuned to optimize the visual, photographic and CCD imaging performance of Meade ETX Telescopes. Image brightness is increased by nearly 15% over standard Meade coatings. Objects such as stars, galaxies and nebulae as observed through your Meade ETX or Meade ETX-PE will be dramatically brighter. Even observations of the Moon and planets will benefit in increased image brightness from the full spectrum of light transmission. All Meade ETX-PE Autostar UHTC Telescopes come with Meade 884 Field Tripod, Meade AutoStar Suite Astronomer Edition Software and Meade 26mm Series 4000 Super Plossl Eyepiece. With Meade ETX PE Telescopes are also included Instructional DVD, PC Interface Cable and 8×25 Right Angle Viewfinder. Meade ETX 125 PE Premier Edition Autostar UHTC Telescope KIT components:

This is a brand new, factory sealed, telescope: We have found this incredible new brand of quality telescopes and are now making them available for sale directly to the public with a special arrangement with the factory. The TwinStar family of optical instruments is made by one of the largest “private label” optical component fabricators in the world. In fact, this telescope was manufactured in the very same factory that makes optical products for Bushne, Tasc, Knus and many other name brands. While this is nearly the same instrument you may see in a catalogue for hundreds of dollars more, by developing the TwinStar brand, the factory is able to sell the same product to us for much, much less. This telescope is brand new and has never been removed from the original factory packaging. Great Value for a Night & Day Scope: Here’s the perfect “first telescope” for the space enthusiast. Great for viewing the Moon, Mars, the Rings of Saturn, the Moons of Jupiter and the great Orion Nebulae, there’s years of fantastic space viewing with this refractor telescope. Most telescopes in this price range are puny 60mm, but with its large 70mm aperture, you’ll get brighter, sharper views of planetary and deep space objects. Plus, this telescope is great for day-time use as well. With powerful magnifications ranging from 35x to a whopping 350x, there’s loads of opportunity for bird watching, mountain gazing, whale watching, or just plain snooping around the neighborhood. Full Color Photograph Assembly Guide: TaxiMarket is the only telescope seller with an online full-color photograph, step-by-step assembly guide. With this easy-to-use guide, you’ll be ready to observe the stars without having to fumble through a confusing manual or a complicated assembly diagram. We’ve made it easy for you to get to the night sky right away! Click here to see a sample of our exclusive online assembly guide! Great Eyepieces & Accessories: This telescope comes with 3 eyepieces with storage containers, and a Barlow 2x lens. With the Barlow, you can achieve up to 350x magnification of distant objects. Your eyepieces are standard 1.25″ diameter eyepieces, so you can always upgrade your viewing experience using standard size telescope eyepieces available everywhere. Your telescope also comes with a dust-free cleaning cloth, a great map of the surface of the moon and a moon filter designed for reducing moon glare and making surface details more clear, and a poster of the solar system. Aluminum Tripod & Equatorial Mounting: The aluminum tripod is fully adjustable and allows even taller people to observe the stars without having to crouch down in an uncomfortable position. A handy accessory tray on the tripod makes it easy to keep track of extra eyepieces. With the equatorial mounting, the telescope is designed to move in any direction — making it possible to track the movements of stars as the track across the night sky. Use the declination circle, hour circle and latitude scale in conjunction to quickly locate any celestial body. Thanks to precision worm gears and a substantial counter weight, the telescope can be balanced so that the slightest finger touch turn of the flexi cables will move the telescope in any direction with a smooth, steady motion.

 **Please note my excellent feedback and SATISFACTION GUARANTEE**
The only mfgr specs I found in the eBay database, which should be displayed above, are for the LX200ACF;  This instrument is actually the LX200GPS, with what Meade calls UHTC (Ultra High Transmission Coating).  The ACF is Meade’s new model, however I don’t see any difference in the performance specs.  Last year I saw the LX200GPS with Alt/Az pier selling for over $16,000.
Very, very, rarely will you find a 16-inch LX200 on eBay, GPS or otherwise.  This one was installed in the local Dayton astronomer of note Chester D’s domed observatory, on his house.  He unexpectedly passed away, the house was sold, and I obtained the instrument from the folks who were purchasing the house.  It has a 30″ Alt-Az pier, a $1900 accessory alone if bought through Meade (some finish rust showing on weld grinds).  You could easily add a wedge of course for a polar mount.  It will also come to you with a 26mm EP, 50mm finder, objective dust cover, and the metal dew shield ($350 list) shown in some of the photos.  Other than a tiny bit of exterior grime from being under the dome, the instrument is in very good to excellent condition, and fully functional.
Because Chester was using an Alt-Az mount, he has a Meade De-Rotation accessory ($500 list) installed for long exposure photography.  It connects to the control panel with a standard phone cord, but I don’t have a coiled cord handy so I haven’t tested this (not sure how I would know it was working anyway, since I’m not set up to take time exposures.)  If you end up with a polar mount, or don’t take time exposures, you wouldn’t need this.
The Meade electronic micro-focus works great, from the AutoStar handbox control.  For that matter, EVERYTHING on this beast works great.  The Auto Align function does everything, including the GPS fix, and after you center the requested two stars, the alignment thereafter is amazingly accurate.  My goto objects were all within view with the 26mm eyepiece, and the literature says that even better results are produced after you perform the tracking calibration routine. 
My experience is limited to setting it on a cart (see photos) and using an automotive battery jump pack with a pocket inverter to test it in my driveway.  We looked at the Orion Nebula last night, and it knocked our socks off.
You are welcome to pick this up here from us in Dayton.  Or after the auction payment is received we can turn it over to a local packing and shipping company with whom you can separately make your arrangements.  I will disassemble the mount and prep the instrument for this process for you. 
I would guess that packing the optics and palletizing the shipment will run between $100 and $200; the actual transportation will vary greatly depending on whether or not you want the heavy pier included, whether you want freight or van line carrier, etc.  I would guess that most locations in the lower 48 could be reached for a few hundred dollars.
The most important accessory of all will be included–bragging rights.

ANSWERS to the most common questions:
SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: Your satisfaction is guaranteed, and that typically includes shipping costs if our description is in error.
TERMS: Virtually any payment method that gets the money to us is acceptable.  Please reply and pay promptly. Intact delivery as described is guaranteed. We try to process all orders the week payment is confirmed. 
SHIPPING:  Alternative shipping methods can usually be accommodated.  Very large or awkward items may require commercial packing, which will be noted in the auction listing description, including details on obtaining these services.  Item pickup from our facility can usually be scheduled on request.  Items not picked up within 30 days must be deemed abandoned, due to storage restrictions, although commercial storage can be arranged separately.
INSURANCE: We often self-insure, meaning that if there is shipping damage, you can simply contact us to arrange return of the item and we will reimburse all your costs. However, we will use carrier insurance on expensive and/or fragile merchandise. Carrier claims must be filed by the receiver (you)–carriers will not accept a claim after an item has been re-shipped back to us. Also, shipping damage must be documented by retaining all packing materials until the carrier advises you may discard them. This is true for all mail order shipping situations, not just us or just eBay.  We pack extremely well and rarely have any shipping difficulties.
TERMS VARY OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES Foreign shipping insurance is highly recommended. Maximum refund for overseas shipping cannot exceed typical domestic charges. Overseas payment options vary by country, electronic funds transfer or postal (only!) cash orders are best for the overseas customer.
WIN-WIN TRADING: We love making people happy with fun items, and we always leave feedback. By placing a bid you are accepting total liability for any and all consequential damages, beyond purchase guarantee (it is your responsibility to not drop it on your toe or burn your house down with it!) Thanks–Chas & Linda

Giant
“Picture Window” views!
Meade Plössl eyepieces offer premium-quality, multi-coated optics and
a 4-element design that provides a wide 52° apparent field
of view. For use with all telescopes configured with 1.25" eyepieces.
Not only are they a great addition to any eyepiece collection, they are
recommended for telescopes supplied with Super Plössl eyepieces as
standard equipment. These Meade Plössl eyepieces virtually share the
same parfocal design as other Meade Super Plossl eyepieces. The advantage
being another focal length eyepiece can be dropped into the eyepiece-holder
and the image being viewed remains sharp without the need for gross refocusing.
Identical to the Meade 4000 series Eyepieces with the only exception being
the text around the barrel. Geat set for the beginner to advanced astronomer!

Why
should I chose a Plössl Eyepiece?

By far the Plössl eyepiece is currently the most widely used design.
The name Plössl eyepiece covers a range of eyepieces with at least
four optical elements. Usually consisting of two sets of doublets (a doublet
lens a convex and concave element sandwiched together). The compound Plössl
lens provides a large apparent field of view along with relatively large
FOV. This makes this lens ideal for a variety of observational purposes
including deep sky and planetary viewing.
