ETX90AT UHTC Blue Tube Telescope
Until now, the stargazer's two biggest challenges to enjoying the night sky have been aligning their telescope and finding objects. Meade’s new ETX90 AT eliminates these two challenges and makes astronomy as easy as pushing a button – right out of the box. Want to see a hard-to-find deep space galaxy? Simply push a button. The same goes for planets, stars, nebulae and more. Just pick an object you want to observe, press a button, and then AutoStar® will automatically point your telescope and put it right in your eyepiece.
The ETX90 AT is based around one of the finest optical designs ever produced, the 90mm Maksutov Cassegrain enables ultra high resolution and contrast from a compact design. These optics will routinely outperform those of larger apertures almost equalling the performance of fine Apochromat refractors costing many times that of the ETX. Whether viewing fine Planetary detail such as Jupiters red spot or polar ice caps on Mars or viewing the tenuous detail in the great Orion nebula you can be sure the ETX will deliver the best views possible.
Don't know what you want to see this evening? Go to the “Tonight's Best™” tour in your AutoStar. It automatically selects the best objects in the sky for that particular time and location (from its database of over 30,000 celestial objects). All you need is a clear night, a dark sky and a little curiosity. Whether you already know the sky by heart, or are just beginning your journey of discovery, your Meade ETX-90 AT will take you where you want to go. Astronomy has never been so fun and rewarding.
You just enter your location and time. And the two star alignment procedure starts, it will point to the first alignment star. Use the finder to center the red dot over the alignment stars for ultra-precise pointing accuracy. It’s that easy.
