Meticulously maintained 10-inch Meade LX200 EMC telescope. This is a powerful, high-quality Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (SCT) equipped with fully computerized GoTo object location and automatic star tracking. Simply align the scope, enter your target into the computer, and the telescope will automatically move to and track thousands of deep-sky objects, planets, and stars.
The optical tube has been cleaned and collimated, meaning the optical alignment is absolutely dialed in and ready for crisp, stunning views right out of the box. The telescope is in excellent aesthetic and mechanical condition, coming from a smoke-free home.
