Telescope Pro Advice "The new Meade LT 6" Cassegain Telescope features an advanced optical design like no other consumer telescope has done before. Ordinary telescopes will give you a distorted image if the telescope is not centered on the object you are viewing, but with the advanced coma free optics featured on this telescope, you will get distortion free, sharp-as-a-tack resolution from edge to edge. Another great feature of this telescope is the built-in star finding computer. Simply choose the object you want to see on the included handheld controller and the telescope will automatically point to that object and begin tracking it. Meade's Easy Align technology makes set up a cinch. You will be gazing the stars in no time at all."

Premium Advanced Coma-Free Optics. Meade's exciting optical innovation delivers stunning performance only seen previously with systems costing tens of thousands of dollars more. With the standard Ultra-High Transmission Coatings, the Meade LT-6 gives you the sharpest, brightest optical system for its size available at any price. Meade's proprietary, Advanced Coma-Free optics will wow you at first sight. We're talking distortion-free clarity and sharp-as-a-tack resolution from edge to edge. The LT-6's state-of-the-art ACF optics are so good, you'll see more objects than you've ever thought possible.

Automatic Computer Controlled Star Finding. The AutoStar controller helps you quickly find, and GoTo over 30,000 objects in the night sky. View planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and comets, all at the push of a button. AutoStar is pre-programmed with several guided tours, including the popular Tonight's Best. Let AutoStar take you on a guided tour of the best objects for that particular night. Meade's AutoStar controller can be updated after purchase for the life of your scope -- FREE.

Ultra-High Transmission Coatings. This telescope comes with Meade's Ultra-High Transmission Coatings. Meade UHTC is a series of exotic optical coatings precisely tuned to optimize the visual, photographic and CCD imaging performance of your telescope. Image brightness is increased by nearly 15% over standard Meade coatings. Objects such as stars, galaxies and nebulae as observed through your LT-6 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 Setup, Easy Align. Meade LT-6's are smart scopes that know the night sky right out of the box. Just level the telescope, point it North and the Easy Align picks two alignment stars for you and places them right in your view finder. Just center the objects to fine tune your alignment and the wonders of the universe are at your fingertips.
