| Features:
| | GPS - LX90 can do more than track satellites. It talks to them as well. Turn it on and the built-in Sony GPS sensor immediately determines your precise date, time and location. AutoAlign then uses this info to align your scope for a tour of the most spectacular sights in the universe. | | | Easy align - LX90s are smart scopes that know the night sky right out of the box. Easy Align picks two alignment stars for you and places them right in your viewfinder. Just center them to fine tune your alignment and the wonders of the universe are at your fingertips. | | | Oversized primary mirror - Meade manufactures their primary mirrors in diameters larger than their listed aperture (e.g. the dia. of 8" LX90's primary mirror is actually 8.25"). This additional 1/4" yields a wider, fully illuminated FOV & allows you to see the light other telescopes leave behind. | | | 8 x 50 viewfinder - Quickly and easily locate and center deep sky objects. | | | Slew speed - The LX90 slews (moves) from star to star at 7 degrees per second. That is more than twice as fast as the competition. This means that over the course of an evening, a Meade LX90 will show you two to three times more objects. |

Product Description
The Meade 8" LX90-SC Schmidt-Cassegrain (SC) optics gives you high performance. Meade uses water-white glass with superior light transmission across the entire visible spectrum, unlike inferior standard plate glass used by other telescope manufacturers. Combined with the industry-leading Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) - with 15% better light transmission than standard coatings - and oversized, thermally-stable Pyrex primary mirrors for optimum light collection, you get a spectacular viewing experience not available on comparable telescopes.
