Meade 6" Maksutov-Cassegrain on LX85 GoTo Equatorial Mount - 217002
Meade 6" f/12 Maksutov on LX85 Computerized Equatorial Mount Meade's LX85 telescope package features a 6" Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA with the Meade GoTo Equatorial Mount and tripod. With a long focal length of 1800 mm, this Maksutov LX85 package produces crisp, sharp images against a dark background sky. However, the OTA, with a folded optical design, is just 18" long and weighs only 12.7 pounds...much more portable than a 6" classic refractor. Please Note: This mount requires a user-provided 12V DC power source and supply. We recommend the Meade Universal AC Power Adapter (07584) or the #607 DC Power Cord (07043) and a 12V Power Supply.
