Let Meade high-resolution optics and standard-equipment Autostar controller take you on an automated guided tour of the Solar System, the Galaxy, and beyond.
Now even the most novice amateur astronomer can locate and explore the planets, asteroids, and comets, as well as nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, and hundreds of other deep-space objects, all at the push of a button. ETX-80 Astro Telescope brings the full range of celestial images to your eye with an astonishing level of clarity and resolution. And, carrying on the ETX® tradition of optical and mechanical excellence, 80mm ETX model includes many of the same features as larger ETX telescopes.
Fork Mount with Dual-Axis Drive System: In conjunction with the telescope's Autostar hand controller, precision worm gear systems on each axis permit smooth pushbutton motions of the telescope. Integrated to one of the fork arms, the telescope's Control Panel serves as a central connection point for the hand controller (the HBX port) as well as for the RS-232 serial interface adapter (the AUX port), an adapter included with the #506 AstroFinder Software and Cable Connector Kit
Flip-Mirror System: For observing in the standard 90° position, flip the internal, optical flat mirror "up." For terrestrial observing with the optional #933 45° Erecting Prism or for photography with the #64ST T-Adapter, flip the mirror "down."
Ultraportable and Simple to Use: Easy to carry to any observing location, whether a distant mountaintop or your own back yard, Meade ETX telescopes bring the excitement of astronomy to users of any age. Just place the telescope on any flat surface, do a quick, easy 60-second alignment of the telescope's computer to the sky, and start observing. Six internal (user-supplied) AA-batteries power The ETX-80 model for over 20 hours in the field.
Autostar Hand Controller -- "the greatest happening in amateur astronomy yet." For all of their advanced imaging capabilities, portability, ease of use, and contemporary cosmetic design, Meade ETX telescopes are above all uniquely defined by the revolutionary Autostar hand controller.
Objects stored in the #494 Autostar's database include the entire range of celestial phenomena and are designed to keep the active observer busy for many a starlit evening:
Menu Options: Selecting an object for observation is as simple ascalling up the appropriate object menu (Solar System, Constellations, Deep Sky, etc.) stored in Autostar and entering the object on the display. When GO TO is pressed, the telescope moves on both axes, simultaneously, to place the object unerringly in the field of view.
