Meade 6-inch Refractor for Near Half Price!


6 Inch Model 152ED

Binoculars.com are having a closeout sale on some telescopes, amongst them some Meade 6 Inch 152ED models. The MSRP for these scopes is $8999.95 but they're being offered for $4999.95 in the sale (about a 45% saving).

Here's the product description: Exquisite optical imaging combined with the most advanced German-type equatorial mounts ever made available. It has long been known that the refracting telescope is capable of yielding perhaps the finest optical imaging performance of any telescope design. Because, however, light passes through the lens elements of a refractor (as opposed, for example, to the design of the Newtonian reflecting telescope, where light is reflected by two mirrors), chromatic aberration has traditionally had a significant, negative effect on optical performance.

1370 mm focal length, GOTO features and suitable for astrophotgraphy. The objective is 152mm in diameter. Comes with a 26mm Plossl eyepiece and 8x50 finder scope.

Just thought you might be interested!

I made the mistake of buying a Meade Autostar product. The CD software they sent is blank, and customer service is unreachable after many tries and many trips through their interminable phone menu hell. They don't seem to have email.
