    The Meade LX200-ACF 16" UHTC Telescope w/o Tripod is a massive, observatory telescope ideal for long exposure astrophotography or observation. The telescope features a large 16" diameter optics and Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) for optimum image clarity and brightness. It is also equipped with an advanced LX200 AutoStar II computer system with 145,000 object database, guided tours, High Precision Pointing with sub arc-minute pointing accuracy, Meade SmartDrive with Permanent Periodic Error Correction and electrically-driven, super precision Meade Zero Image Shift Microfocuser. The Meade LX200 Telescope offers swift and accurate star alignment via its Meade's level north alignment system and 16 channel GPS receiver.

    The 1-piece, large fork mount features a total of 4 roller bearings (80mm) for declination and 2 larger roller bearings (150mm & 100mm) in azimuth. Fast slew speeds are from 1 to 6 degrees per second and can be selected at 0.1 degree per second increments. Fine slewing and photographic guiding speeds can be adjusted from .01x to 1x sidereal in 1/100 increments.
