Description
The Meade LX850-ACF 14" f/8 Telescope with UHTC and Starlock is a portable astro-imaging system that can be setup, aligned and imaging in less than thirty minutes. Building on the foundation of the technologically revolutionary LX800, Meade engineers have taken the next step in astrophotographic evolution. Meade's innovative concepts like Starlock fulltime automatic guiding and high-precision pointing, f/8 ACF OTAs with internal Crayford-style two-speed focuser, and a portable precision German equatorial mount, but reengineered it to deliver more performance with less user effort. Optical Features The Meade 14" LX850-ACF (f/8) Advanced Coma-Free with UHTC is the new standard in astrophotograhic and visual performance. The fast f/8 Advanced Coma Free optical system produces a wider, flatter field with no coma for pinpoint stars out to the edge of larger imaging sensors and extreme wide angle eyepieces. It includes StarLock dual imager integrated full time guider, Ultra Precision Pointing and Assisted Drift Alignment, 5.8" 225 tooth polished bronze worm/gear drives with low periodic error, internal cable routing, GPS receiver, AutoStar II GOTO system with over 144,000 object library, heavy-duty adjustable height tripod with anti-vibration pads, Universal AC Adapter, Meade Zero Image Shift Electronic Micro-Focuser, telescope to computer USB cable and AutoStar Suite software. StarLock StarLock is a revolutionary new technology that makes target acquisition on your imaging sensor and accurate guiding during exposures completely automatic. With Meade's exclusive LightSwitch technology at its core, StarLock uses an 80mm f/5 optic and two camera sensor system to provide computer assisted polar alignment using the drift method. Once aligned the StarLock is guiding the mount in real time, and even automatically programs periodic error correction.

Product review & video
rolling so this is the LX 800 this is the top line now for the Mead German equatorial mounts it's the only man on the marketplace to integrate itself guiding and that's all automated meaning the two little scopes you see off to the side ones a wide field camera ones a narrow field camera that's the star lock in that in the integration of the alignment process we actually photograph the the object you're looking for determine where it is center of that object the narrow field lens actually gives you us hooks up a one star net stars then photographed as quickly as every quarter of a second and then we adjust them out based on the information that stars getting that scope is getting on that star it's based around the LX 200 so it's got a hundred forty thousand objects in the database five point eight inch years two hundred twenty five t we also have a new optical system and fa which is rea
