  The Meade 12-inch f/8 LX850-ACF OTA delivers the ultimate in clarity, contrast and flat field of view. Natural coma and optical aberrations are eliminated allowing for pinpoint round stars to the edge of the field. These qualities make Meade ACF optical tubes excellent imaging instruments. By pairing ACF optics with their Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC), light transmission and detail are greatly increased allowing you visually discern fainter objects. This OTA is built for speed too. At only f/8 your exposure times are exponentially decreased allowing you to get more imaging each night.
