Designed for high-performance observing and astrophotography.
Meade's 6" (152mm) LXD75 with a focal length of 762 (f/5)
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.
