Designed for high-performance observing and astrophotography,

Meade's 10" (254mm) LXD75 with a focal length of 1016 (f/4) sets a new standard in its price class for sturdiness, precision operation and smoothness of movement.

The scope features a virtually backlash-free equatorial mount incorporating heavy-duty castings and four high-precision stainless steel ball bearings in both RA and Dec axes.
The Schmidt-Newtonian diffraction-limited optics yield pinpoint stellar images over an extremely wide field-of-view with only half the coma of standard Newtonians.
