MEADE LX600-ACF Series The MEADE LX600-ACF series is the latest addition to the more than prestigious range of technological products developed by MEADE. The LX600-ACF series has been designed to take you to the next level in both visual observation and optics. With a fast f/8 optical system with ACF (coma correction) the LX600-ACF offers a wider and flatter field of view with point stars (due to the absence of a coma) to the outer limits of the field of view captured by the largest CCD sensors and wide field eyepieces. With the MEADE LX600-ACF telescopes include the STARLOCK system which is a guidance system that is permanently acting with an accuracy of 1 arc second and also incorporates the LIGHTSWITCH SELF-ALIGNING system. The frame carries the GOTO AUTOSTAR II system with more than 144,000 The tube, on the other hand, incorporates a Crayford system with speed reduction and with total absence of shifting of the primary. The model presented here, the LX600-ACF of 10" in diameter has an ACF f/8 optic with a focal length of 2032mm and UHTC optical treatments in order to maximize the brightness and contrast of the image. The redesigned primary mounting system achieves a shift-free focus system and includes an internal double speed Crayford focuser with a 7:1 reduction factor that allows for fine control and adjustment very quickly. It includes the revolutionary STARLOCK technology that allows to acquire images in its guidance sensor and allows to make guidance during long exposures and in a totally automatic way. The LX600-ACF 10" comes fully equipped with the AUTOSTAR II system with 144,000 objects in memory. It also includes a 1.25" zenithal prism, a 26mm Super Plössl eyepiece and an 8X50 optical finder with easy removal system. The frame's power panel includes the following connection ports: 12V input, 12V output, illuminated reticle, control knob, one RS-232 port, StarLock, Aux and focuser.
