Meade ETX
When the original ETX telescope was introduced in 1996, it quickly created a revolution in amateur astronomy. Here for the first time was a stunningly beautiful, ultraportable, and highly versatile telescope system of unprecedented optical resolution and performance. Within one year of its introduction the ETX became the largest-selling modern telescope in the world.
ETX-90AT, ETX-105AT, and the ETX-125AT models build on the original ETX concept to create the most advanced electronically-controlled telescopes — including automatic GO TO object-location with the Autostar Computer Controller — ever produced in their price range. And yet without sacrificing any of the user-friendly features that started the revolution.
Serious astronomers for years have flocked to the ETX for its observatory-quality Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system. Its diffraction-limited optics are so crisp in contrast, brightness and image resolution that they consistently out-perform telescopes of larger aperture. All ETX telescopes features BK-7 glass and oversized Pyrex primary mirrors. The entire optical system is manufactured at Meade's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Irvine, California.
