Meade ETX-70AT (240 x 70mm) Telescope
| Product Information | The Meade ETX 70 AT is one of the most popular telescopes fulfilling both celestial and terrestial needs of both a city dweller or suburban resident.Its maximum 140x power allows the user to see planets just as easily as one views a nesting bird. Its versatility is unmatched for its accessibility with a full length tripod or releasing 3 screws detaches its base, for viewing from a hood of a car, window sill, or picnic table. The refractor design resolves a super sharpness that is superior to other optical designs, being its light path is bent only once.One can read a wristwatch from 3 city blocks away.View all Planets except Pluto, galaxies, nebulae, and more. The Meade designers thought of everything when designing manual clutches for movement, when battery power is exhausted or undesired, to avoid stripping its motors gears, for many years of pleasurable use.

 Great first scope.
Good value for a begining Astronomer. The GoTo feature is very helpful to find your way around the Universe. On note of caution to beginners. The object size, in ALL amature telescopes, is much smaller than what one expects. If possible look through a friends scope or seek out a club and try out what they have before you spend money and might be disappointed. Again, this is true of all telescopes under the $5,000 to $10,000 range.

Although of modest aperature, this is one of the greatest "grab and go" scopes available. It is easily portable, quite easy to set up and moving about the heavens is a breeze. The only thing I don't like about it, and other Meade smaller scopes, is the small finderscope, or lack of one. I'm partial to Telrad finders and will end up mounting a base on this one.

This is an item I have always wanted and I can't wait to get out in the desert where the skies are clear and I can fix on the moon or the stars to see them clearly. I live close to Meade and they were kind enough to assist me in calibrating my instrument and I now have a better sense of how to use it.
