  The Meade 14-inch LX850-ACF Catadioptric Schmidt-Cassegrain OTA telescope delivers the 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 its ACF optics with their Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC), light transmission and detail are greatly increased allowing you visually discern fainter objects! At only f/8 your exposure times are exponentially decreased allowing you to get more imaging each night.

  Features of the Meade LX850-ACF Catadioptric OTA 

  • ACF (Advanced Coma-Free) Optics for maximum sharpness and clarity.
  • UHTC (Ultra High Transmission Coatings) for 20% more contrast and brightness when compared to Meade's original optical coatings.
  • Losmandy style dovetail for fast and easy attachment to your choice of mount.
  • Includes Vixen-style, top-mounted accessory dovetail to readily accept a wide variety of accessories including guide scopes and cameras.

  This product does not come with a finder scope.
